Weekly Bulletin - Week of April 11th
Weekly Principal's Note:
Hello, Everyone.
I hope that you all had a nice week back from Easter vacation. I had an awesome time watching Jamie's 2nd graders make ice cream in science class last week. It was fantastic to see a lesson where kids were learning math, science, and Spanish...all at once!! Thanks for letting me visit, Jamie. I will be working on the teacher evaluations soon and would love to come in and visit more often. If you have exciting lessons that you would like to showcase this week, please email me the time and date so that I can put it on my calendar. Essentially, I am looking at the aspects contained in Charlotte Danielson's Framework. I have included an image of the framework below.
Also, contracts will be ready this week, so please fill in a time to meet with me. I'll send out a Google Doc. Your commitment and dedication to the kids is evident when I see you in the classroom, on the playground, in Church, or up in the lunchroom. What I especially notice is how we look out for one another's kids, not just the ones directly in our care. It really does take a village and I appreciate all you do for each and every child in our community. Thank you and have a wonderful week!
With Blessings,
Katie
