Principal's Corner
During our Habit Huddle last week discussed Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind. We watched a story book called t "The Very Busy Spider" by Eric Carle. Students later discussed how the Spider had a plan and how she did not let anything distract her from that plan. Students had a chance to discuss ways that they plan and how they can ignore distractions. We also shared our attendance incentives for the year. Our attendance prize cart will be coming around to classrooms on Fridays. We also have monthly classroom attendance competitions. Attendance awards will also be given each trimester.
I am pleased to announce that Holly Elementary first through fourth graders read over 1,000 books this summer during the Kids Read now summer challenge. Way to go!
