Friday Focus - April 26, 2019

Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Kindergartners focused independently to write a persuasive letter with details in 3 sentences. (Yes, you read that right...kindergarten!)
*As 4th graders started a new PLTW unit, representatives from John Deere came for a visit to see our future engineers at work. They were so impressed with how engaged and collaborative our students were!
*Our students performing in the Talent Show each did an incredible job on stage sharing their passions with us. In addition, our incredible staff pulled together for yet another entertaining act to close out the night. You all never cease to amaze me! HUGE kudos out to the talent show committee for making this annual even such a great success!

Upcoming Events:
Monday - 3:15 EP Training *Optional* Doc Log/SLO work/support time in IMC
Tuesday - Mid-Quarter -please send progress reports home
  -I will be at the trauma training with the rest of the team attending this to bring back the learning
Wednesday - Elementary Staff meeting -this trauma training will be on the next 2 R's: Responsibility and Relationships
Friday Crazy Socks Day/Inflatable Party in the HS Gym (the crazy socks day is so they all have socks on for the inflatables!) The party is put on by our fundraiser company, but I selected the date to be a great conclusion to our 3-5th graders taking the Forward test. Here are our times:
10-11:00 Grades K/1
12:30-1:30 Grades 4/5
1:45-2:45 Grades 2/3
3:10-3:30 STAFF :) :) :)

Monday, May 6 - Spring Concert for all grades K-5
Wednesday, May 8 - Budget requests due
