Celebrations:
-Thank you to a wonderful second week of school!
-Thank you to Emily and Mike for setting up our "Breakfast Club" if you have not contributed your 2$ please do so ASAP.
-Thank you Mike for the idea of team folders on the server to place your logs into for me. Much easier!
- Ok, so 7th grade was first for the fire drill... All my fault :) we will be first next time. 2nd place is great too! thansk for your help with everything as we tried the new system. I think we can get a bit closer together which will make it easier for me to check you all off.
-Do you have anyone to thank or you want to throw a "shout out" to??? email me for next weeks BLOG, I'd love to celebrate the great things you all see that I might not!
Let's celebrate each other!
Announcements/Reminders:
1. As you know, paper/pencil checkpoints for Math begins Monday and On line testing has been moved back a few days due to the delay in data being uploaded into Achievement Series.
2. In the event that you might need to leave early or coem in late, please make sure you sign out/ in with the front office AND
starting this week, please sign out/in on the clipboard at my office. This way in case I need someone to cover a class in the future I can tap into anyone on the list as needed. I will remind you. Thank you in advance for following this process.
3. Team logs and even content logs should now be posted on the 6th grade server. I will be printing them off to bring to Kid talks. This way Tina can access them also.
4. Kid talks begin Tuesday please refer to your schedule Tina sent out last Weds. Once I get on a routine, I will be adding these into our blog as a reminder.
5. Sub folders are due soon.... please drop them off in my office or in my mailbox.
6.Curriculum Night is a wonderful opportunity for you to establish a working relationship with students' parents. Please remind them (if you get stuck with a chatty parent) it is not a conference time and they can set up a conference at a later date. Do not forget to discuss our 6th grade discipline plan along with sharing a sample of the slip we are using. Try to make a special effort to meet and really greet the parents of your students that are already on your radar. If after curriculum night you need to make aware of anything please do so. I am very interested in making that relationship with parents a successful one too. I will do what I can to support you in anyway with parents. I will be popping in throughout the night to say hello.
7. Rox and I talked about Connectiosn dismissal, students are loud, running and not following your directions as they head to Connection classes. She will be sharing with you how we need to have some supervison on the hallways as they walk to connections. The logistics of this will be decided shortly.
8. My travels this week. My grandmother is not doing very well since they took her off her chemo treatments a few weeks ago. She is 90 years old and my daughter and I will be traveling to PA on Weds to visit and spend some much needed time with her while she is still coherent. A very tough visit for us but with that said I will still have access to email so please keep me in the loop as I am not here. I will a miss a few meetings so if you can send me any of your logs that would help me to stay in touch. Please see Michelle or Mike if you need assistance.
Have a great week and enjoy!!
