Read All about it...

And the "APAWS" goes to...

"APAWS" goes to ... from Teresa: I have a SHOUT OUT to Martha and Sarah for giving up their release time to meet for a 504 last week. I know how precious that hour is. You were so gracious and I appreciate them so much!

"APAWS" goes to ... Cheryl for leading the way and bringing out games for our students last week during recess as we discussed at our Oct. Staff Mtg!  Thank you for your leadership and providing other activities for our students to do during recess!

"APAWS" goes to ... Sarah for her first GATE Academy of the year!  It was a success! 

(If you'd like to give some "APAWS" for next week's blog, please send me an email!)

1. Conference Week: - have a great week meeting your students' parents!  I know what a busy week it is for each of you, but it's also a great time to continue to build relationships each family.  Through that relationship, your students' educational experience only gets better.  The parents are excited to meet with you, hear about the great things their child is doing/learning/creating and to learn what they can do to help support their child and you!  As always, "sandwich" your discussion; start with a positive, discuss areas for growth, and and with a positive as they leave.  

2. Trimester Assemblies: - Monday assemblies - please be on time and remind your students of assembly etiquette before attending.  I will ask teachers to join me up front, welcome everyone, remind students and parents of the awards being presented and then we'll present them by category.  You will bring your awards with you.  The C21 Communication award will be presented by a Rep from Placentia Library.

3. Staff Kindness Challenge: - November 13th is World Kindness Day. In honor of that, and because we need to remember to play and have fun too, I am sharing a "Staff Kindness Challenge" to print and complete, through Dec. 21st, if you'd like to participate.  When you return your completed board, I'll give you a raffle ticket for a prize.  I'll announce the winner on Dec. 22nd during morning announcements.  Just initial the box and put the date you completed the act of kindness.  I'm making this available to all certificated and classified staff.  If you like this and want to make a copy to modify for your own classroom, feel free. :)  I'm sure you've heard that Nov. 17th is the opening for the movie, Wonder.  Have any of you read this with or to your class?  If you'd be interested in attending a Staff night to go see the movie together, please let me know and we'll put a night on the calendar! :)
