*Kindergarteners working on their addition equations and reading them as math sentences.
*First graders deciding on the math strategy that works best for them individually to subtract.
*A lesson in which the teacher referred to the objective on the board a few times throughout the class period and at the end, asked students to self-reflect on how they met the objective (that goes right with standard 4, having students self assess!)
*Several classes working on ways to be bucket fillers and spread kindness throughout their classroom and the school. Wouldn't our world be such a better place if all people focused on the positives and spreading kindness?
*Beautiful ornaments made to decorate 2 trees on display at the Juneau Public Library. Thank you again to Mrs. Haan for organizing this and decorating our trees. I can't wait to see them on display this Sunday when we will also have band students providing the musical entertainment!
Events Next Week:
Sunday - Parade of Trees at the Juneau Public Library 1:00-3:00
Monday - EP training at 3:15 (Optional...an email will be going out to all staff regarding this)
Wednesday - "Giving tree" gift donations due to Marie (unwrapped with the paper ornament)
Friday - Staff Professional Development Day
Monday, December 12th is already MID QUARTER!! Yes, it's almost time to send home mid-quarter progress reports to keep parents updated on academic progress.
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*The Friday PD day agenda will be coming soon. It will be including time for writing/grade level work, some math PD, time for math WIN and some fun!!!
*2-5th grade teachers, please have your students complete the AIMSWeb progress monitoring by Thursday and let Jenny or I know if you need any help. Seriously...don't be afraid to ask. One person already did and the problem was I printed the wrong tickets!
*I am still seeking any interested teachers to join the Title 1 School Wide Planning committee. Please let me know if you're interested or if you have any parent recommendations.
*Monday starts the 12 Days before Christmas break. You know I don't like countdowns, but I love using these days to give you something fun or yummy each day. My ope is that this will help you feel like you're not just surviving these days before winter break, but to keep you thriving! I won't tell you all the days, but you've likely already seen the parent newsletter calendar that gave away the special dress days:
Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!!!
*How are you doing with your mini-lessons in writing? How about for reading? Here's a great blog post to help keep your mini-lessons "mini" so that students can get to writing and reading: A Short Sweet Minilesson Forumula
