Choose Your Attitude, Make Their Day, Be Present, Play
Choose Your Attitude
If there was ever a day to choose your attitude, today was the day!! Thank to all of you who made changes to your schedule to help us cover the classes that had no teacher. Your flexibility, willingness to help out, and children first attitude was a blessing to witness. I know some of the requests took a few of you out of your comfort zone, but you were still willing to be team players! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Make Their Day
Naomi was ready and available this week to make the day for numerous students and teachers. Her willingness to pitch in and help at a moments notice with classroom coverage, IREAD instruction, etc. sure made my day.
Be Present
Today I am reminded of the awesome one on one paras we have here at Waterford. Your daily presence in the students' lives that you work with is a tremendous support to the teachers. In addition, the impact you have on the students' lives is paying dividends now, and will most certainly continue on throughout their life. Thanks for coming to school each day, with a smile and a kind spirit. It is certainly noticed.
Play
It was great seeing a number of the teachers and staff wearing their jerseys today. Thanks Kristy for organizing this.

GUIDED READING SHOUT OUT!
Based on our testing schedule with NWEA and WIDA, it can be challenging to teach your regular guided reading groups each day. I want to thank all of you who have ensured that your students have received this instruction each day despite the testing schedule!
