Finally! A "normal" week! What a gift!

This has been floating around social media. I thought it was kind of funny.

If you accept collaboration days, inaugural Wellness Wednesday, first rounds of observations, smiling students starting our days on WZZM, etc. a normal week....then let's celebrate! Praise God for the growth that we have observed in our children throughout the first quarter and we trust in Him for the wisdom and guidance as we lead our classes in all the learning we have planned in quarter two!

Guess what! 

Assessment Day = DONE

Report Cards = DONE

CEA = DONE

Data Meetings = DONE

Parent/teacher Conferences = DONE

Collaboration Days = DONE for 2/3 :)

What do you want to talk about? ;) GREAT work, staff, supporting each other, cheering each other one another on and demonstrating that you glorify God by giving your best to ALL the tasks at hand. Amazing work has been accomplished. Acknowledge and celebrate that. 

Lunch and Learn

Monday, November 9 please ask for a parent volunteer to cover your class over the noon hour. We will delve into the next chapter of Love and Logic together. 

Unwrapping the Greatest Gift by Ann Voskamp

A copy of this beautiful book is en route for each classroom. We spoke about this last year. If you would like to use Ann's book as a way to step through the advent season with your students, keep it in mind as a possible resource. 

Learning Labs

Sarah and Jenna will be leading our cohorts in our two Learning Labs experiences on Thursday, November 12. We're eager to grow together.

For your blog

Please copy and paste this note in your classroom blogs:

For many years South Side has partnered with JW Greenhouses from South Olive in the sale of poinsettia flowers during the Christmas season. Our school keeps the profit of that sale and allocates the funds directly for the needs and educational experiences of our students. If you are planning to purchase a poinsettia plant or two, please consider making your purchase through our sale which will run from November 9 to November 30. Your child will take home an order form soon in their Friday folder. Thank you, as ALWAYS, for your continued support and prayers. We appreciate you!
