4/27/15 MMM

Wow! The year is going by so quickly.  This weekend was cold, but it didn't stop my family from building a garden in our backyard.  The yard is actually more inviting to be in now.  Check it out.

I am leaving the padlet up with our Genius Hour discussion since we didn't have any discussion on it. Please share your concerns, thoughts, ideas, and solutions via this Padlet so we can go forward with this with both eyes wide open.  Here is the Google Doc link too.  I  would like to talk about this again with the possibility of implementing OUR OWN version of it starting next year.

#Utedchat this Wednesday from 9-10.  The topic is Augmented Reality in Education.

**To Be Aware of**

• SAGE Testing will be going on for the next several weeks.  Please be quiet in the halls and those who are administering, remember ethics.  Take stuff off the walls or cover up.  We don't want to take any chances.
• We will have an intruder drill sometime this week.  Like the earthquake drill, be ready for the unexpected.
• Don't forget to attach #teamkid on all tweets going out.  Our school hashtag is #PawPower.
•  Next Monday you should be working on class lists for next year.  Don't forget to look at the Blue cards so we don't make any mistakes of which kids should not be with each other.
• New book I will be reading to classes is Horton Hatches the Egg.  The topic of discussion is responsibility.  Look at the calendar to sign up for a time.
• I still have those book catalogs in my office that were used about a month ago by a vendor to help with our guided reading library.  You will need to decide on books you would like to order.  I would like to finalize by the end of this week.
• A financial advisor by the name of Dan Matheson will be here on Wednesday during lunch to talk about managing investments.  He is providing lunch (sandwiches I think).  I have been working with him for the last few years.  He has been great for me and my family. You may not be interested, but let's not give him the cold shoulder.  Let's be courteous of his time.

Celebrations/Things I Noticed

• Congrats to Lauren, Alysha, and Meredith for graduating from BYU.
• I haven't been in the classrooms as much the end of this year.  Lots to do.  I will get in more.
• Congrats to 5th grade for a quick modification to their fire drill exit.  Everyone was out and accounted for within 7 minutes.  Great job to everybody.
• Thanks to BetteJo for going and participating in negotiations with the association.  She is so involved and we appreciate her. 

Great Video clip of the Week

Please Watch!  This will blow your mind.  We can never question the capabilities and possibilities of our kids.
