Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Students excited about their MAP growth...I'm always amazed about how many students excitedly tell me this news during lunch or in the hallways. You have done incredible work to develop their growth mindset and pride in their hard work!
*2nd graders over the top excited to show me their published "how to" books! They pointed out their features like table of contents, bold words and the glossary. They are such experts!
*You might not believe this, but I had 3 students tell me while waiting on parking lot duty after early dismissal that they wished they could stay at school, because it's more fun...and they wished we had school on Friday!!!
Events Next Week:
-I will be out of the building Monday afternoon-Tuesday to present at a conference
Wednesday - Report Cards to be distributed
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Please add your On a Roll recommendations to the Google Doc (this is in the elementary team drive if you forget where to find it) and include a parent invitation for the Pride assembly when you send home report cards.
*3-5th grade teachers - please send home invitations for students that make Honor Roll. Just as 1st quarter, you do NOT have to add them to a google doc. I will go through report cards to make the certificates and save you that extra step.
*If you have anything to share in the February newsletter, please get it to me by Friday. Even just pictures/blurbs are great to highlight the awesome work happening in your classroom!
Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!!!
*Not a blog post this week, but the question...What if a student's behavior turned out to be their greatest gift in life? Another principal I'm connected with shared this and I LOVE this question!
Just what if...What if the behaviors we try and change are the same behaviors we admire and encourage in adults?
Take a look at the video and be inspired: Be a Mr. Jensen
