6th grade Project Runway
Longest string challenge
3rd graders playing "Getting to Know the Teacher"
Core Values
-A teacher being Authentically Inclusive and exhibiting Love by offering her lunch time to eat lunch with 3 students a day to get to know them better. This effort goes deep in establishing trust and showing students we care for them.
- Teachers displaying Optimistic Innovation by taking on Flex Seating and accepting the challenges and frustrations that this shift in practice brings.
-All teachers showing Humility of Heart by opening themselves up to their students, sharing their interests and personal lives to develop strong, trusting relationships with students. This was so evident by "Get to Know My Teacher" games, family pictures, and conversations between staff and students. Thanks for opening yourselves up to our students!
Out of the Building
Wednesday, September 11th - Leadership and Learning, 12:15 pm - 4:00 pm
Grasshopper buzz
Not every student exhibits this interest, so this wouldn't be for all....but if we can tap into student interest so that our students are running INTO our building rather than running OUT.
Fire Drill
We will have our first Fire Drill on Tuesday, September 10 at 2:30pm. Connie is updating Please review your evacuation maps so you know where to go.
The VOLUME of the alarm is extremely loud. We have requested for the volume to be lowered multiple times, only to be told multiple times that it can't be lowered.
Feel free to teach your students to plug their ears as they are exiting the building.
