Who's In?
We're In!
We're In.
We're In.
Yes, yes All In!
It's Spirit Week AND.... It's Book Fair Week AND... Friday is Grandparents day! Who's In? You will need to be in order to survive the week. Keep in mind that somewhere in between we still need to keep teaching. Speaking of teaching, here are some things you need to be thinking about. We have 5 weeks left to the trimester. You are required to have 4 summatives for each class. That means you should have two already and one more in the near future. If you do not, you need to be thinking about how you are going to meet that requirement. The other thing to think about is you are required to post grades within two days after the assignment/assessment is turned in. You should also be posting one ATL a week. Are you keeping up with these requirements? If not, you are not giving your students a fair assessment of their abilities and mastery of the content. Also, if you are not posting grades in a timely manner you are not giving appropriate feedback. Don't wait until Oct. 26 and then panic and give 5 assessments in one week. That's not fair either. Planning is necessary.
Here are some reminders for the week:
Bookfair creatures - I'm not sure what you supposed to do with them. There was mixed communication. Someone may come to get them and if not just leave them hanging by your classroom. I will say this... This was SUPER AWESOME bookfair decorating. Everyone in the main building was ALL IN!! Angel's Wing promises to catch up and I know theirs will be awesome too. And how about that castle and dragon?!! And oh my goodness the ENTS!! I didn't know Ms. Carol and Maria could be soooo scary! I love ALL the decorations. A special kudos to the volunteers who decorated outside rooms 4 and 6. And great work Charles for coming up with a great master plan for how the book fair would be set up this year.
Mass - No Mass on Wednesday. Instead, we will have Mass on Friday. Please refer to Gina's prior email for how that will work and just be flexible and patient on that day.
Friday we will have PD. Carmen and Kelly will be with Gina getting trained on Wit and Wisdom. All other teachers (K-8, Encore, Jamie, and Alton) will be with me in the media center starting at 1 p.m. to learn more about BrainPop. If there are assistants who normally work on Friday until 3, please check with Gina and Karen Biase to see if we need help with anything if you want to work the full day. I know we still have a cabinet full of Iowa's that need shredding.
Here's what was in Tidbits as an additional reminder for this week. I added some notes:
Monday October 1st- Mustang Monday
- Students will dress in mustang colors and show their Mustang pride
- Free dress rules apply (That means NO face paint, makeup, etc. - I'm ok if they have big school color things in their hair.)
Tuesday October 2nd - Tacky Tuesday
- Students will wear a "tacky" themed outfit
- Free dress rules apply (They may break the rules here and wear tacky jewelry and accessories)- Doughnuts with dad for initials A-L in the east hallway from 7:00-8:00 am (For those of you who are new, this is just a guideline so that everyone doesn't show up on the same day. When necessary, dads may come on the day that works best.)
Wednesday October 3rd- Whimsical Wednesday
- Dress as your Favorite Fairy Tale Character
- Free dress rules apply (Again, rules can be broken and appropriate accessories are ok.)- Doughnuts with dad for initials M-Z in the east hallway from 7:00-8:00 am
Thursday October 4th- Team Thursday
- College gameday, staff and students will come representing their favorite college team
- Free dress rules apply- This will also be family night in the media center (will last from 3:00-5:30 p.m.) and NJHS will be hosting this event with games and activities
Friday October 5th- Faithful Friday/ Grandparents Day
- Today is a day to appreciate our grandparents and go to Mass
- School uniform for everyone to show our respect to God and His faithfulness to us- Will be a half-day
1. Grandparents can come to school and check in between 7:45-8:15 and go to their grandchild's classroom. They can check in at two locations: the front entrance by the office or in the breezeway by the Angel's Wing.
2. Grandparents who come late can go directly to mass and check in after mass on the way back to the school then proceed to their grandchild's classroom. We will have a table set up as they enter the breezeway from the church.
3. Grades 5-8 with grandparents who wish to visit the bookfair will proceed directly to the bookfair after mass and stop to pick up siblings along the way. We are hoping they will be finished and back to the Angel's Wing by 10:00 AM and will then have their breakfast.
4. All other classes will go to their classrooms for their breakfast after mass. We suggest giving them time to eat and socialize then having the students ready to perform a song or a poem or something for the grandparents until about 10 AM
HAVE A GREAT WEEK! GO MUSTANGS. GO MUSTANGS. GO, GO, GO MUSTANGS!
