Some Normalcy Perhaps?

Makers Week? BOOM! Thank you for engaging our kids in all of the busyness and high energy that comes from Makers Week. During our PD day on the 15th we'll have time to reflect and reevaluate this week. If you have thoughts, comments or ideas on that front, please keep them in mind. We'll talk about this on Friday afternoon. In the meantime, the pix are pretty fantastic, aren't they? Busy kids making a mess and learning together! 

Protecting Our Pipes
Todd has requested that we please leave our classroom doors open when air temps are 10º or lower. I will zip around and open the doors that are already closed before I leave on Friday afternoon. 

Ditto 
There is a big heart card for our Ditto volunteers on a table in the hallway. Please have your class sign this card before Thursday. I'll deliver this Wednesday after school to express our gratitude to the hard working staff at Ditto! 

February PD Day
Please don't hesitate to ask me how this agenda impacts you. Our schedules are going to be quite personalized based on who has already completed the CQ training or who has already accomplished this work. You can access the agenda here and, again, don't hesitate to ask me how this impacts you. 

Kevin Kammeraad
Mark your calendars! Kevin will be able to come to teach our kiddos on Thursday, March 28 beginning at 10:30. Preschool, you are invited as well and I can let him know that you will need to quietly dismiss at 11:05 if you'd like. I will have more details as we approach the date. Just keep that assembly in mind!

Staff Meeting
Our next staff meeting will be February 14 over the lunch hour. Erin Wyma will be coming to talk with our staff regarding my evaluation. Please do try to cover your classroom to be present for this meeting. I know it can be a challenge but coverage does allow us to hold these meetings over the lunch hour.
