Congratulations for Angie Dratler and Hope Houston
Our team would like to nominate Angie Dratler for Staff of the Month. Never have we worked with a teacher that works as hard for not only her students, but for the teachers on her team. Without Angie as our team leader, well, let us just say, it wouldn’t be nearly as good.
Hope has been very positive and energetic. The ideas she is coming up with this year have been awesome---math and science are truly her gift! The connection she has with her class and partner this year has been great.
Let the Wobbling Begin!
The Thanksgiving holiday is around the corner, we have decided to “gobble” one another. No gifts involved, just a sweet way to show our colleagues why we are thankful for them.
If you receive a “You’ve Been Gobbled” note on your door, you are then required to gobble 3 staff members in return.
The GOBBLE sheets will be in the copy room!
Please make sure these notes are posted on the doors or near the staff members box if they are a paraprofessional!

Project ESL
Can’t wait to meet and discuss our students’ progress over warm and yummy snacks.
As part of our district/campus in-depth tracking of our ESL students, please bring
a copy of your class DRA report and
documentation of students’ current reading instructional level.
Each time we meet now, we will be tracking this information as well as rating our kiddos on the
4 language domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Thanks in advance for all that you do!
