Out of the Building
I will be out of the building the following times this week:
Tuesday, September 17th - all day - Courageous Leadership
The Importance of Meaningful Creation
I came across the blog post below by George Couros this weekend, and I believe it is very relevant to our day to day work with our classroom ecosystem. He talks about how the discussion should shift from "how much" screen time a child has to "how meaningful" was the screen time. I encourage you to take a moment and read it, as his perspective could help you both in the classroom and with your own children.
Lounge Clean-up
Not sure if you are in agreement with me, but I believe our lounge is accumulating too much clutter. It has become a depository for items that people don't want. Please don't place items on the table for people to grab. Instead, send an email to GL-All for people to come to your space to claim items. Please claim items in the picture below by Tuesday afternoon. Whatever is left will be donated or tossed.
Lifetouch Picture Day - Updated Schedule
LifeTouch will be here on Wednesday, September 18. The photographers will be using the north gym (the side farthest from the stage.) Information for parents regarding the purchase of picture packages was distributed at our Meet & Greet, and reminders were sent home on 9/13. Teachers should keep the envelopes when they are returned by the students. When your class goes for pictures, please give each child his or her envelope. All students AND staff should be photographed.
