Welcome back, lobos! Happy January! I hope each and every one of you had a wonderful and restful winter break! We are working in our collaborative teams, weekly, to discuss the needs of all students. Please let us know how we are doing! Our weekly team meetings allow us time to analyze data and make informed decisions for instruction in our classrooms.
I am so happy to announce that our iPads and cart have arrived! We are working with our technology folks at the district office to get them set up for class use and to help train our teachers for use in the classroom. We could NOT have purchased these without our Fun Run fundraiser. So I need to thank you all again for your participation!
Next week, we are implementing our "Hall Monitors". This allows our upper grade students to be student leaders in our building. I am excited that many students are interested in helping in our building! We have so many responsible students!
We had our "Spelling Bee" on Thursday January 12th! Congratulations to our first place winner:
Chloe in Ms. Paluszak's fourth grade classroom--WAY TO GO, CHLOE!!!!!
2nd place--Bennett in Mrs. Wheeler's third grade classroom
3rd place--Sophie in Mrs. Griffin's fourth grade classroom
4th place--Ryan in Ms. Jones' third grade classroom
5th place--Caleb in Ms. Jones' third grade classroom
It was great to see!
If you are looking for lost lunch boxes, we now have them upstairs in the common's area. We are keeping the food away from the clothing in our Lost and Found boxes.
Mrs. Smith and I will be having our grade level meeting next Thursday, January 19th. Our focus will be on bullying again. We are going to review what it is, and what to do if it is happening to a student or others.
This year is sure flying by quickly. There are exciting things happening in our classrooms!
