I hope you all have a great holiday. Bring that holiday smile and lots of patience tomorrow to receive tired, cranky children who wish they were still in bed, especially with how cold it will be this week. Monday is a good time to review classroom rules and behavior expectations and a reminder that our goal for this year is to spread kindness. As we enter the new year, this is a perfect time for students to reflect on how they treat others with genuine kindness. January is also a good time to conference with students (post i-Ready testing) about the goals they set earlier in the year and their progress.
Most of the planned work for over break did happen. We are, however, still waiting for the fence people to fix the gate. They have given us a date of Saturday, Jan. 11. Fingers crossed.
It's a quiet week. The faculty meeting will be important for all teachers. We will be discussing Catholic Schools Week. The committee, David (Penny Wars), and Connor (Spirit Week) will be presenting.
I will be at the Bethany Center for an administrator's meeting on Friday but will be available by text or email.
Have a wonderful week!
