"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - October 7, 2019
No School!
Our staff will be continuing to explore the EL Education curriculum and learn how to enhance literacy instruction for students, will be digging in to academic data to look for trends, learning about literacy capacities & instructional practices, develop our schedule for Instructional Learning Rounds, and work within committees to plan Family Academy Night.
All this will be powered by a fantastic lunch provided to the staff by our PTA! Thank you!!
Other People Matter Mindset - Be Present!
This week our students dig in deeper to the Other People Matter Mindset wit a focus on Being Present.
What is the Other People Matter Mindset? This mindset is taking the time to look beyond ourselves. Recognizing the feelings, love, and care within others. Furthermore, it is important to recognize them as individuals and recognize they matter.
This week we will continue to build this mindset by identifying the benefits of being present. Often our days are busy and we are not fully present. But when we stop and take a moment to reflect or see the good in others the world around us changes.
Students this week will be practicing seeing the good in others and being appreciative as they build their other people matter mindset. #OtherBucsMatter #BuccaneerPride
"What makes me happy is the appreciation of people around me." ~Nadia Comaneci
"Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated." ~Lou Holtz
Please use these quotes and discuss with your child what they learn about Open-mindedness this week.
