It is going to be very busy in the office this week due to Fall 2014 kindergarten registration. Please be patient with the office. We also have a short skills test to help balance classrooms, so please avoid sending students to the tables by the front office.
If you walk by the office and Linda is busy with a family, please help pick up the phone if it is ringing. As your classes walk by the office, you might have your classroom greeter leader welcome any new families registering. One day they will be greeting people when they interview for college or jobs, or when they work with customers at future careers. Practicing now is part of developing leadership skills.
Kindergarten students starting this Fall will graduate from high school in 2027. What might education and learning look like in 2030, and what might job requirements entail for future careers? We do know students need to be learners, and to possess skills that can be used with any career. They need to be critical thinkers, have communication skills, and collaboration skills. Here is an article about the possibilities for what 2030 might look like for kindergarten students starting this Fall:
Education in 2030
Linda has a green team with student leaders helping to beautify the outside of the school. A big thank you to our custodians! Steve and Terry assisted students with planting new flowers, and were teaching them gardening skills. Here are a few pictures:
Who knew that intense passion would come from staff in regards to how a word is spelled?! It was quite funny to listen to the evidence, supporting reasons, and even shirts! Then google came to the rescue. Even PTA came out of the lunchroom to join in on the conversation. This picture just has a few people, but there were several more involved in the synergizing moment of determining how to spell huskies:
Sometimes teacher appreciation week is thought of as just for teachers. In reality, every person at Harrison is a teacher. We have such an awesome staff that goes above and beyond as they put students first, and we are so lucky to have a school team that demonstrates that every day. From our custodians, to kitchen staff, to para-professionals, and our support staff. Every person is lighting a fire of learning in our students:
