One picture from this last week is a kindergarten celebration of their reading growth Fall to Winter. The graph pictured is similar to others found in classrooms around the school and we definitely have impressive gains with both reading and math growth. A big thank you to everybody who teaches, cooks and feeds yummy food, ensures the building is clean and dry from rain leaks, encourages, and gives a few minutes to check in with students. The picture of growth and happy kids is awesome.
There are also pictures from Breakfast with Books, Valentine's parties, and our student lighthouse team that meets during their lunch hour to plan and learn:

All of our certified staff complete at least two peer observations every year. This is a great way to learn, grow, and form connections with staff.

Positive relationships with students and a safe network of support with colleagues:

I've sent this article out to a few people individually over the last few months. The I'm sorry's have picked up lately, so I thought I should share this with everybody. I love this article and refer back to it myself.
It is a powerful mindset change to switch from a negative to a positive. No more I'm sorry's when you need a sick day and want to use your sick leave, when you needed to take care of a student instead of responding to an email, when the to do list and plate is full and you need to prioritize, when you need to stop and breathe and go for a walk outside around the school, when you had a human moment and need a do over:
