Greetings-
I hope you’ve had a restful weekend and that you’ve taken the time to do the things that bring you joy.
Welcome back to…
AJ4!! They returned looking a bit tired but also joyful after three nights at Hawthorne Valley Farm.
Thank you to…
Lindsey for leading the first of many engaging Parent Math Coffees. Thank you to Jessie who has helped plan these coffees and sarah and Tori who joined and spoke about our wonderful math program.
Tips and Updates:
Do you have students
Just sharing this one more time. Specialists here is a copy of our agreements that you can hang in your classroom and refer to often. They are only effective if we keep them alive and speak about them often.
Below are our Lower School Community Agreements:
- BE YOUR BEST SELF.
- TAKE CARE OF OTHERS.
- TAKE CARE OF OUR SCHOOL.
- RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS.
Here are a couple of useful articles about classroom agreements:
Halloween Idea:
Topsy Turvy Tuesday Halloween Celebration: Come to School in the Topsy Turvy Look that works for you. If you want to do something specific with your class, that is also an option. I know Blue School used to have a Vocabulary Day on Halloween. A class is welcome to try this out. On Halloween, we will parade through Houston (assuming it’s open) again (they were painting the lines!!). Feel free to email me with any thoughts, further suggestions or questions.
