3/2/15 MMM

HAPPY DR. SEUSS DAY!!  Thanks for getting grades posted on time.  It was a fun weekend for me.  I went winter camping with my son for scouts.  I slept warm as long as I didn't move.
A reminder for those who are interested in the #Utedchat taking place Wednesday night from 9-10.  This week's topic is "Teachers Make the Worst Students".  I need to tell you again, it is quite fun to do this and loads of information comes at you from other teachers.  I think there is only one other principal who gets involved with these chats so you are actually tweeting with other teachers.
I will be coming around today to those who were on evaluation this year to have you sign the final form.  It looks like the SET form you had to sign on one side and initial on the other.
Try to stay out of the rain.  Bundle up and keep warm.
New Padlet discussion for this week, but you will need to read this article before commenting.  It is a short article.  Please read it and then answer the question on the padlet discussion.  It has to do with failure.

To Be Aware of
  • Flu season is not over.  Please take care of yourselves.
  • The people at Edivation (Soon to be Edivate) will be coming at 10:30 on Monday.  Samantha from our district will be presenting to us at 8:30.  Our PD day is full.  We are excited to hear from both presentations.  Remember, lunch is on me (not literally).
  • Battle of the Books are all this week.  Please be accommodating and understanding of those who are helping with the battles.  It is a great activity to allow your kids to watch a battle sometime during the week.
  • Don't forget to attach #teamkid on all tweets going out.  Our school hashtag is #PawPower.
  • We will not have a faculty meeting on Wednesday the 11th because of Monday PD day.

Celebrations/Things I Noticed
If any of you notice great things some of your teammates are doing, please share by commenting below or telling me so I can include it in future MMMs.
  • Rachel had a GHO (Google Hang Out) with a 4th grade class in St. George on Friday.  The kids taught them all about minerals.  They also learned about the different levels of soil from them.  It was amazing.  If any of you would like to try something like that with your class, let me know.  I have contacts all over the state and nation that would probably love to do something like that.  One of the great benefits of being apart of the common core, connections nationwide.
  • Congratulations to all those who participated in the Storytelling festival.  We heard some great stories in the assemblies, but I know you all heard a lot more awesome stories in your class competitions.
  • We raised a lot of money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Fundraiser.  Thank the kids for me for taking part in the "Stuck for a Buck" event.  That was pretty fun....until the end when I was overheating and the tape was choking me a little from sliding down the wall.  All in all, it was a good time for me.
  • Congratulations to Meredith Durrant for a quick transition from student teacher to full time intern in Amanda's old room.  It is now Mrs. Durrant's room. She is doing fantastic.
Great Video clip of the Week
In honor of one of our storytelling winners.  It's not great quality, but funny just the same.  Again, great job to all the storytellers.

Great Read of the Week
This great read will go with the padlet discussion.  It has to do with peoples' perception of failure.  It is a very interesting read.  Great Pic to go along with the discussion.



Have a Great Week!  #TeamKid #PawPower!!
