Sunday, October 9

 

I know this time of year is tough. We have been in school longe enough to be exhausted, October brings crazy, I mean candy, and the next break is so close but so far away. Rather than focus on all of the tough things, let's make this a great October filled with positivity and excitement. Maybe you try something new to change your focus and recharge your passion and enthusiasm. If you have some ideas, please share them. That being said, if you need a break or extra support, please let me know. 

Speaking of recharging and refreshing, we are going to revisit out PLC norms and goals. At the next PD, we will talk about the Essential ELA Standards and we want to make sure our PLC's are dialed in and focusing on the work for our students. We also want everyone to be comfortable with the Essential Standards before we begin doing the same work for the Math Standards. 

Some of you may have no idea what I am talking about and that is OK! We are simply going to start with a PLC Self Assessment to determine where we are right now. Please take this self-assessment this week as a PLC. Rori and I will be around the following week to talk about it. 

PLC Self-Assessment

Staff Meeting: For our staff meeting on Tuesday, wear comfy clothes!! Christi is going to have us play one of her PE games and it could get intense!! On that note, wear comfy clothes on Wednesday too for Walk to School Day. 

Here are some upcoming events in October:

Did you know... Candi Terry has read 310 books in the past 4 years and she made sure I knew that did not include the books she reads to the kids in the library. I got lots of good guesses this time. Thank you!!

This week's unique fact is that one of our staff members has gone skydiving over The Great Barrier Reef!! Who is it?
