"Nuts & Bolts" Notes
*I know that you're all counting down the days, but please remember to try to keep things as normal as you can (I know that's hard to do). Also keep in mind the parent perceptions...if students come home saying all they did was watch movies and have parties then parents will be more likely to take students out of school on these days in the future. We can still learn a lot while tying in the theme of the year.
There's many of you on the Naughty List right now! To get back on the Nice list before Christmas, please do the following:
*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).
