Great Things I Noticed this Week:
On Wednesday evening the IMC was filled with a mix of 30 staff members, parents, students and community members for the Beliefs, Vision and Mission Statements Committee. It was amazing to see the wide variety of stakeholders invested in the Dodgeland School District. Each person was asked to share a word/phrase that they think of about Dodgeland and their responses are my celebration to share with you this week, because their impressions of Dodgeland are a result of the continued dedicated focus that you have on making this the best school for students:
- Nurturing
- Care about students
- Supportive staff
- Progressive
- Preparing for the future
- Accomplished
- Sense of community
- Innovative
- Forward thinking
- Growing in every way

Tuesday - after school Bucket Fillers activity for 3-5th graders (I'll email a list out so you know who is staying)

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Grade Level PLC mtgs are what you need to work on/discuss for writing (I know some of you want to look at student writing/progression together for norming and some want to just plan ahead).
*Please sign up HERE for me to read to your class/talk about reading resolutions the first week back from vacation.
*In addition to me reading/talking to classes about reading I'd also like to put together a bulletin board again to show students that all of the staff are readers too! (See an example below). Before break I ask that EVERYONE (certified and support staff) email Marie a picture of yourself with a holding a book in front of you to hide your face. Please pick either your favorite book or your favorite genre. If you need to have Marie take your picture, just come on down to the office with your iPad and book so she can. Marie will be printing the pictures for me (and keeping track of who still needs to do their homework to stay on Santa's Nice list).
