THIRD ROUND OBSERVATIONS

We are beginning our third round observations. Please remember to have lesson plans available for review (if necessary). 

The 7th person to email Mrs. Choplin regarding reading today's blog will receive a sunshine pass for their entire grade level or department (specialists).  Please put blog in the memo part of the email so I can count!

PLEASE READ THE BLOG DAILY!

Just a few updates & reminders for everyone:

* Read and check emails carefully. 
* March 6th at 9:30am we will have our tornado drill. Please practice with your students before the event.
* Multicultural Day has been moved to June 5th.  Please mark your calendars.
* Lesson plans should provide specific details.  Example: Math should not say fractions.  The plan should include text book page , manipulative, assessments, small groups etc.  They should be written so that a substitute teacher could follow them if you were out on an emergency.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND ENJOY THE VIDEO!

Wednesday, February 2Oth

Hope everyone is well and having a "Quacker Day".  Just a few updates and reminders. 

Several of our colleagues have family members who have had surgery or are going to have surgery this week.  Thought it would be great if we could remember them through thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement.

• Mrs. Shore's mother had heart surgery. She was released from the hospital today.
• Mrs. Lea: Her son is having surgery today.
• Ms. Vaughn: Her son is having surgery at the end of the week.
• Mr. Mercer: His dad is going to have heart surgery. Date not determined.

All parties are expected to be fine but it is always nice to know that your colleagues are supporting you during trying times.  If you know of anyone else that needs our thoughts and prayers just let me know and we will put the word out.

GIVE TO THE ARTS

It is time to give to the arts.  Our school goal was set at $1100.00.  Currently, $440.00 has been pledged.  Every little bit helps.  See Mrs. Hartman or Mr. Noftle with any questions and they can guide you through the process.

Grades 3-5 please make sure you are beginning/or continue to incorporate calculators in your daily math practices. 



The first two staff members to email me after reading this blog can wear blue jeans tomorrow and next Monday.

A LITTLE HUMOR TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY!

"An abstract noun," the teacher said, "is something you can think of, but you can't touch it. Can you give me an example of one?"
"Sure," a teenage boy replied. "My father's new car."

Teacher: I told you to stand at the end of the line?
Pupil: I tried, but there was someone already there!

A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write - and they won't let me talk!"
