Thank you for leading great learning activities. With all new students in Kindergarten and over 100 new students 1st-5th grade, we have many students who have been wondering what Sharpen the Paw is and why all the returning students won't stopping talking about this activity. Students have so many great enrichment learning activities:
Sharpen the Paw for the 1st Quarter
The agenda for the staff meeting:
*American Fidelity
*Nurse
*Social Committee- reminder to fill out survey that they are preparing
*Family and Community Engagement Conference- Rachel and Hannah
*We ran out of time at last week's staff meeting to look at student leadership notebooks. Please bring a few samples to pass around so new staff can see examples for student led conferences. We'll pass them around while we listen to speakers.
There are so many great pictures from this past week. We expect our students to be learning, playing, working, and giving with service every day. Students need to be engaged with all four of those items.
We have a great picture of two fifth grade young ladies who helped walk kindergarten and first grade students to the bus after school, noticed a student behind the group crying, ran over to check on him, and then walked with him to his bus. That's kindness and exactly the service and proactive behavior that helps to prevent bullying. There is also a great picture of three young men from fifth grade who chose to spend recess working on the playground, giving with service. We also have students that love to wash tables at lunch as they give with service.
You have to love our school news team. The STEM grant this year has helped to strengthen video production skills and learning for our students.
There are also pictures from our monthly breakfast with books. It is warm and cozy in the lunchroom as we pack everybody in, and we had our awesome school choir singing. One new feature this year is that even the younger students can be in the choir.
There are great pictures of students learning in math, practicing their reading, and a writing paper from kindergarten. There are also great pictures of our Title 1 and Resource staff, and our students are definitely very blessed to have such kind and giving ladies who assist our students with their learning every day.
Playing is really important and we are definitely working on social skills. Add in kindness and service, and students have several opportunities to develop social and emotional skills.
Finally, there are great pictures from the first grade field trip trip to the pumpkin patch. The faces are the best. You might click on them to make them larger and share with students:
