Dear Team TJ!
Today I was inspired by the EAGLES as the stayed the course, celebrated success and WON the BIG game. I know that this time of year can bring stress, as our kiddos are super sick and so are we, and there are assessment windows coming up, RTI and much, much more in our minds. Please take time to know that we are doing the right work...we will stay the course and we will continue to be the coaches of great wins for our Stars!
Thank you for your support and understanding last week as my family navigated the Flu with Austin. I am thrilled to share that he has some pep in his step and is teenage angst has returned so we are good for wear! This week we will be sending our fifth graders off to Alliance Redwoods, have a staff meeting and begin out CARING Booster. If you have not turned in your Smart Goal to my box please do so and please send a digital copy to me so that it can be saved to the Drive. I will also ensure that the SMART Goal sharing matrix is shared on the white board in the Staff room; please post the standard and your goal on it prior to the staff meeting; please note that SMART goals also include our SDC and RSP groupings. If you planned your goal with a grade level, please let me know.
To another week of learning and leading together,
Kirsten

Our booster will end with a Cross-Grade level..SHARE-AND-CARE READ IN! Party from 11:-11:45 am on MARCH 2nd...On READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY! 2.
Each class will strive to earn 10 hearts that will will be adde to the stems to add to their cup of flower pot that is on the poster provided. Marshmallows are earned by the class earning 10 caring tickets; and caringy tickets are earned by individual students. Students will earn tickets and submit it to their classroom teacher…once the class has collected 10 then glue the heartto the poster.
Please take the time to hand out the caring tickets to ALL students who you see are showing acts of caring responsibly for themselves, others and our school. The goal is to have the ENTIRE school join us for the READ_IN party. (Details about the party will be shared closer to the date.) The CARING Tickets are in ADDITION to Starbucks.
