Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Kindergartners engaged in their PLTW projects. When I asked each student what they were making, I was so impressed that they each went right into explaining the function of each part to me!
*3-5th graders applied their stamina, focus, and test taking strategies for Forward exam testing. We had some students that spent hours on writing one essay, because they wanted to do their best. While this was happening I saw, but didn't hear, several K-2 classes walking through the hallways SO silently to help maintain focus for testing. Thank you!
Thank you also to everyone who helped make testing the most conducive for our students by switching specials/recess schedules, proctoring a small group, helping out with extra duties, etc.
*So many great ideas shared about helping students build their self-regulation skills in our staff meeting.

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*We have some smelly lockers...please have students clean theirs out before the 3 day weekend. The custodians found a few VERY old snack pack bags. Yuck!!!
*We could use parent helpers for the inflatable day. I'd love it if you could post the date/time for your grade to your Class Dojo to see if you have any interested parents. They can call/email/message me on Dojo. Thank you!
