Happy Day of the Teacher!
Dragon Teachers
When I began your class I think I knew
The kind of challenges you'd make me face.
You gave me motivation to pursue
The best, and to reject the commonplace.
Your thinking really opened up my mind.
With wisdom, style and grace, you made me see,
That what I'd choose to seek, I'd surely find;
You shook me out of my complacency.
I thank you now for everything you've done;
What you have taught me I will not outgrow.
Your kind attention touched my mind and heart;
In many ways that you will never know.
I will remember you my whole life through;
I wish that all my teachers were like you.

Thank you for being the best all year long!!!
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 in the past two blogs. 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/
Observable Fish Moments at SV:
Be There: Thank you Kristin for creating an amazing video for our classified staff! Thank you Janice for the idea to celebrate our classified staff at our Dragon assembly.
Play: Thank you to all staff members that are going to be taking a HUGE risk and practicing dance moves this week 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!!
