Monday, April 10

 

Hello Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful break that left you feeling recharged and ready to go! My break started with a detour as our puppy Millie had to have emergency surgery on Monday. She ate something she was not supposed to and it had to be removed surgically. That was not how I wanted to start break but I am thankful she is OK. I am also thankful it happened when it did. It allowed us to be home with her when we really needed to. That being said, I would have rather gone to Disneyland for the amount of money that little surprise costed us. But, such is life, right? 

We are now entering the part of the year that seems to fly by and the kids get a little crazy! We know it is coming, so let's take it on as prepared as possible. This week after break is a great time to reteach the PBIS expectations. There is a tab on the BLOG with everything you need. Also, choose something your grade level wants to focus on and reinforce it like crazy! We have been able to change the behavior in the lunchroom by choosing something we want to work on and being intentional with our rewards. It is pretty incredible to watch happen right in from of us!

Tomorrow is out PD day. See below for information and locations:
