What a Week!

Well...South Side Sisters...it's nearing the end of an epic week! You have led your kids through meaningful learning experiences in the midst of Halloween, too much candy, thunderstorms, indoor recess, World Series excitement...oh my! Well done maintaining consistency, accountability and excellent, engaging learning for your students. It's been another full yet exciting week! Excellent work!

Staff Meeting
Please remember that we have our next staff meeting over the lunch hour on Thursday, November 10. We will circulate a menu for China Inn on Monday if you would like to order a "fun" lunch. Pat will collect the money and we'll make the run for the border (wrong continent) and pick up the goods before the meeting.

Please plan to have chapter 1 of The Differentiated Classroom read. We will talk through the discussion points with our groups.

Election on Tuesday
Thank you Jenna and Bailey for spearheading our exciting election...thank you, too, to Dee Dee for the reassuring devotional regarding this upcoming event. God is already there. We can find deep and true comfort in that fact! 

There is a sign-up sheet on the whiteboard for voting times for Tuesday. The polls will be located in the art room on Tuesday morning. If you are able to help transform the space from an inspiriting art room to a patriotic hub, please join us on Monday after school. Classroom teachers, there will be stickers in your mailbox to offer your little voters upon completion of their civic duty :) Remember, we will NOT be announcing the winner of the South Side election. Rather, we can tell our students that they will learn in the morning who our country has selected to be our next president. 


Delta Math Training 
All elementary staff be trained in Delta math. Years ago we utilized this assessment with our students. It is new and improved! On Tuesday, November 29 from 4:00-5:30 we will get all of the exciting details. Please plan to attend if you teach math.
