Friday Focus - January 12, 2018

Great Things I Noticed this Week:
Unfortunately, this has been one of those weeks that I didn't get into classrooms (with covering the front office and my absences), but I know I missed out on great learning happening. Just like our parents, I still got to see some glimpses into your classrooms through your class Facebook and Class Dojo posts. Never give up an opportunity to share the great things happening in your classroom!

Upcoming Events:
Today - Finals Geography Bee for 4-8th grade. We will NOT be having celebration announcements at the end of the day due to this event. So please take time in your class to reflect and celebrate together---go ahead and pick your favorite class song to dance to! : )
Thursday - last day of the quarter, Early Dismissal, no AM recess, Lunch is 11:00-11:30/11:30-12:00.
Friday - PD Day - Please see the agenda sent out by Dr. Thompson. This should be a great day of learning! : )
Monday, Jan 22 - grades due by 7:30am
Wednesday, Jan 24 - report cards distributed

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*The Friday Celebration schedule has been updated (if you haven't gone yet, you've been pushed back on the schedule). After March 9th we will be in need of more classes signed up to finish out the year. You can sign up in the google doc HERE (which is in the team drive).
*Reminders for report cards...as always, there should be no major surprises for parents. If you've got a student with sliding grades, please call home to discuss. In Powerschool--no blank grades or *asterisk*. Instead use P (pass), because it generates errors.


Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!!!
*I just finished reading the book Fostering Resilient Learners and absolutely loved it. Our students from trauma seem to increase everyday and this just helps build your toolbox for the mental health needs in the classroom. This blog post gives a good summary of the book: Foster Resilient Learners, a Must Read . If you'd like to borrow my copy, just let me know.
