Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*4K students reading books by memory---5K teachers you've got readers coming your way next year!
*1st graders made posters for our lunch room to encourage all students to clean up after themselves, because they want our lunch room to look nicer (this was their choice in their current Lucy writing unit!)
*3rd graders incredibly engaged in coding during their PLTW time, coming up with creative touches to their coding while still completing their requirements for each and then writing about it.
*4th graders put all the knowledge they learned in PLTW about energy into creating a vehicle restraint system for an egg with the intent to not crack the egg as it rolled down an incline plane intot he wall. My favorite was watching their slow motion videos they used to see what went wrong so they could tweak it (learning from failure!)
*All of you brought the excitement for the state send off! I had a high school student tell me after that we made it so much more fun!
Upcoming Events:
Today - rescheduled Tornado drill at 1:45 (pm recess will need to end a little early)
2:30 3rd quarter pride assembly - have your teacher iPads ready for another fun Class Kahoot challenge!
Monday - Wednesday: State Forward testing for 3-5th graders throughout the mornings. Keep the hallways quiet please!
Monday - Brewer Day (yes, jeans too!)
Wednesday - Workout Wednesday, Elementary staff meeting
Thursday - A videographer will be here throughout the day to record in some classrooms, at recess, in the halls and on a walking field trip for Blue Zones (this got rescheduled thanks to the April blizzard)
Friday - No School. Rest up. Relax. Rejuvenate, because the fast roller coaster ride to the end of the year is approaching!
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Just a reminder to complete the survey sent about by Dr. Thompson last Monday regarding trauma informed practices for schools (before you leave for your 3 day weekend).
Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!!!!
