May 2-6
Weekly Plan-Culture, Communication, Collaboration
Staff,
It's Teacher Appreciation Week! This is one of my favorite weeks of the year because the whole world stops and attempts to thank all of you for all that you do every single day to help all of our children. I know that cookies and Azteca from PTA are nowhere near enough to "pay" you for the blood, sweat, and tears (literally) that you put in every day, but hopefully it makes you smile and reflect on why you became a teacher!
- Math PLCs were excellent, as always, on Monday! We actually had 1st, Kinder, and 5th be able to plan out their end of the year for math instruction and look at the new ST Math Fluency online system! We have made so much progress in our math conversations at PLC this year and our student achievement reflects that!
- Kudos to Danielle, Brooke, Jodi, Amera, Jessica, and Colleen for helping me present "A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That" at the state PBIS conference on Tuesday in Des Moines! We heard lots of attendees compliment about our ARMS PBIS system and they loved learning from our Morning Meeting videos!
- It was fun to celebrate all of our future NA babies after school on Thursday! We can't wait to meet your little ones Becky, Judi, Andrea, and Debbie!
- Becca Eastman and Jenni did an excellent job presenting at the 21CCLC conference in Des Moines on Friday about our Rock-It tutoring/enrichment tutoring program! We have so much to be proud of at NA!
- Next week the PTA will be providing lunch for all staff on Wednesday. It is catered from Azteca and the leftovers are usually enough for Thursday, too!
- Personal days season is here! Don't forget to get your requests in ahead of time to AESOP! We have six staff gone on Friday the 6th :)
- Check out the link below to see the PBIS Rewards website and some free and inexpensive ideas for PBIS rewards in your classroom! We learned about the app at our conference!
