PD on the Fly...
It's that time of year again. Students are waiting for that next break and anxious over school, home, and hormones. How do you keep them engaged? While there are many successful strategies I see in your classroom, here are some "Teacher-tested ideas to help students quietly fidget." Enjoy!

Dropping Students off for Lunch
Core teachers need to be mindful not to leave students unattended on the playground, in the gyms, or in the cafe. Recess monitor duty starts at 10:54 for 5th grade and 11:37 for 6th grade. If you are dropping students off and there is not a monitor, you need to stay with them and wait.
Canned Food Drive Continues through December 6th. This year our Student Council is leading the canned food drive through the Freestore Foodbank. Collection began November 8th and will now run through December 6th. Please remind students to bring non-perishable items and no glass. Student council is working on incentives and more information will go out soon.
Hearing and Vision Screening
It is that time of year...Hearing and Vision Screening will take place for all 5th graders during their PE classes (so afternoons) on Monday, November 26th and Tuesday. November 27th. Those students who are NEW to the district and those who do not have PE will be done throughout the mornings. I am trying to minimize time out of class. I will contact you ahead of time, if I need a student from your class. Please notify me if you have any concerns.Thank you for your help and patience...Nurse D.
