Like last year, here is the suggested reading list for the summer.
Just like we expect our students to be learners, so should we as
educators. This is a list with some of the books I've read this year, and at least
one should catch your eye. These are excellent resources for learning. They match our school goals and needs as well:
Summer Book List
Like past years, we can always use help the first day of Title 1 summer school. If you are available Tuesday July 7th, we could use your help from 8:00-9:00 am. We have students from all 7 elementary schools, and students usually need assistance finding their classroom. It's a little bit on the crazy side the first day, but it's a great experience.
The staff blog won't have postings until August, but feel free to join the summer school blog:
Title 1 Summer School
Please remember to save a picture of yourself sharpening the saw during the summer, for a staff video in August.
Have a great summer with your friends and families!

We had an excellent carnival on Tuesday! Thank you to everybody who helped not only the day of the carnival, but all the prep work ahead of time. We have such an awesome staff. We had happy smiling students, and great synergy from all of our staff members who assisted. We had certified, to classified, before and after school staff, PTA, and several parents. Even amongst all the fun, there were several students reading their new books and discussing their new videos from the give away. Readers and a carnival, awesome! The carnival was a great event to end the school year, and here are several pictures that would be great to share with students:

It's a short week, but a week full of fun activities. Thank you to everybody who is assisting with the school carnival! That is an annual tradition that students look forward to every year, and I love that at Harrison it is a free event for every student. If you are looking for a spot to assist, Kindergarten is a great place. We will have all 106 Kindergarten students in the afternoon, and they will be full of excitement as they attend the carnival.
We had several great pictures from this last week, and several great opportunities for students to develop leadership skills.

Fifth grade has their swimming field trip today at Sligars.
Soft skills are sometimes forgotten. Raising student achievement is important, and so are soft skills. They are applicable across all future careers. Here is a short list of important soft skills:

We had a great school picnic, and probably one of our cleanest. Students did an excellent job making sure garbage went in the garbage cans. Very impressive how smooth the lunch line went outside, and how clean the front lawn was.
The extra recess today, for having all library books turned in, will start at 1:30 outside. A big congratulations to Mrs. Moulson's first grade classroom, for being the first room to have all of their books turned in! I went and celebrated with them, with licorice, on Wednesday. We have licorice waiting for the next four classrooms that get all of their books turned in.
We have the 4th quarter leadership assembly today at 2:50 in the gym.
Here are a few pictures from the ground breaking of the new school on Tuesday. These would be great to share with students:

This is a great link to share with families via your classroom email distribution lists. There are Leader in Me ideas for families, and how to integrate with activities and situations at home.

We only have a few days left of school. Hard to believe, but sometimes students have challenging behaviors at the end of the school year because they are going to miss you, or the safety and stability that school offers. Sometimes students show their feelings and thoughts in the most unloving ways, and behaviors. Here is a great thought for the day, stay positive:

Please send all library books to the library first thing in the morning.
Third grade will be at their Canyon field trip today, and we have the school picnic today.
This is a great picture of a mentor leader and the kindergarten students she mentors. Learning doesn't just occur inside the four walls of a classroom.
Tuesday lunch was the Principal's lunch and student lighthouse meeting. The students always give great feedback about successes at school, and areas to grow. We had student leaders of the month for both April and May. A big thank you to Chick-fil-A for providing the student lunches.
Tuesday afternoon was the groundbreaking for the new school on our side of town. I put a copy of the handout on the back of the staff room door for everybody to view. We have 6 students in this picture, and some were really intense with their digging. It was a great experience for them.
