Happy Day of the Teacher!
We have been celebrating Staff Appreciation ALL Week this week! Please watch this video...LOVE IT!! If you’re a teacher, you know that these last days of the school year can be some of the most hectic days of all: report cards are due, cumulative folders need sorting, and kids are stir-crazy, watching the windows with envy. So before your count-down is up, take a moment to smile about the growth your students have made this year.
I brought this up at our staff meeting on Tuesday. I know we are STRUGGLING with getting away from worksheets on our campus (HINT HINT) please check out these EASY ideas HERE for turning a worksheet into a collaborative, critical thinking activity including "Cut Apart", "Everybody Knows", "Lines of Communication", "My Mistake", and "Pair Rotation". It's a very SIMPLE way to get AWAY from the boring, simple worksheets!
GET YOUR STUDENTS EXCITED ABOUT CAINE'S ARCADE- SO COOL!! ALL students can participate. A student makes their own game and brings it in on field day. On field day it becomes part of our Caine's Arcade station. What a great way to show off some creative skills and students at their own school get to play them!! Check out this website for ideas: http://cainesarcade.com/
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY :)
Observable Fish Moments at SV:
Be There: Thank you for being active during yard duty. Thank you Fern for making sure SBAC make ups are being done in a timely manner!!
Play: Thank you to all staff members that are taking a HUGE risk and practicing dance moves so we can perform a staff dance. The KIDS love seeing us take a risk!!
Choose your attitude:
To actually choose how you respond to life, not just react, you must be intentional. Ask yourself throughout the day, "What is my attitude right now? Is it helping the people who depend on me? Is it helping me to be most effective?" NO EXCUSES!!
Make Their Day: Thank you for everything you DO to make sure our students are successful every day!! You are amazing!!
