Congratulations, Celebrations, and Gratitudes
Congratulations to Tanya and the 2nd Graders for an amazing music program that involved singing and dancing, as well as a community dance time with parents, family and community members dancing with their 2nd graders.
Congrats to all that made beautiful paintings Saturday, April 16th at the Splatz Paint Party. Thanks to the Social Committee that arranged this social event for us.
Thanks to Brenda for stepping up and taking the long term sub job for Library Tech this spring. She is learning many things quickly and truly a support to our school.
Thanks to all teachers for getting MAPS testing done quickly and efficiently.
Thanks to those teachers who turned in their Teach-To Forms and for reviewing PAWS behavior and expectations. I truly think that students are being more successful this year with their behavior because of the time you are taking to stay on top of positive behavioral expectations. I have gift cards I will bring around this week as a reward for your efforts.
Thanks to Steve for his endurance and consistency during art. HE travels to 3 schools each week and has a different set of kids every day for six day. Then he starts over again. Thank for his willingness to travel and to make art work in each of our elementary school.
Stay Focused on Instruction - Don't Give Up
It will be expected that reading, writing and math be conducted right up until the last day of school. Reading intervention and lit blocks will run right up through Wednesday, May 26th.
Collab Time - Fri, April 29
K, 1st, 5th teachers as well as PE, Music and Counselors have building collab to work on their own local priorities. Those grade levels/departments should send me an email reporting what was accomplished and how that time was used before they leave at the end of the day on Friday.
