For the grade level teaming on Monday/Tuesday, anybody can attend. One teacher from each grade level has been attending a math class this year that has been led by BSU. They will be leading/sharing the recent training information. K-2 will be learning about geometry, and 3-5 will be learning about measurement.
For the staff meeting, Mrs. Pauley will be leading. Second grade teachers have been piloting a new standards based report card. They will be sharing successes, tips for next year, obstacles and areas they learned from, and areas to grow.
Also for the staff meeting, Rhonda Birnie will be sharing math ideas.
Just a few pictures from this past week. A few of our staff members did a cool fun run that had an inflatable obstacle course, we received a new friendship bench for the playground, Kindergarten Open House, and more:

Today is the last food feast day, and what a week it has been! We have had several great parents bringing in foods and drinks, setting up, and assisting with all the food this week. Today we have root beer floats during the last afternoon recess, as well as chips and dips.
Student leaders are selling caramel apple suckers and pencils today. It is also Friday fun, dressing like a future career.
Have a great Friday!

Please help remind students and families about our Panda Express fundraiser on Thursday, from 11 am- 9 pm. People will need a coupon, and we have extras in the office.
The food feast today for teacher-staff appreciation week, is a pizza lunch! Mrs. Jensen won a free staff pizza party while participating in a Leader in Me webinar. Awesome! We saved it for this special week. There will also be salads, desserts, and other yummy foods.
We have a late night of Kindergarten registration, during open house, until 6:30 pm tonight. This works well for families who aren't able to leave work during the day. Kindergarten open house starts at 5:00.
