Happy Thursday! Wouldn't it be nice if EVERYDAY were PAYDAY? Well, tomorrow is PAYDAY and you all have earned an extra one, so check your mailboxes before you leave. ENJOY!
We cannot tell you enough what a "GOOD JOB" you are doing. Let this Children's Choir help me tell you.
- you can set up instant meetings through Zoom contacts without having to send links to anyone? This link has a video with how to easily set this up.
- Leigh Ann has created a "one-stop-shop" of resources for the different programs we use on campus. If there is something you feel like you need, but it is not there, let her know.
- Mary Kemper created a resource called Math At Home in February. Please use if you are interested- there are many great ideas here.
- CTE Spirit Week is coming our way from the district level? Check out plans the district has designed for a CTE Spirit Week that will be here in 2 weeks.
GREAT KINDNESS CHALLENGE
We will start the parade at 8:00 at the cafeteria by lost and found. Remember to remind learners to stay on the dots and six feet apart. Also encourage learners to smile and show their drawings to the camera as they walk by the camera that is set up at the start of the ramp to the Media Center. Once you pass the front office feel free to head back to your learning space. Please upload your virtual learner images in this Google Folder by noon on Monday so that Admin can construct the "parade video." Please leave out our 4 learners who do not have disclosure.
Don't forget to pass out the digital Kindness checklists and encourage your famiLEEs to sign up for The Great Kindness Challenge App to be able to participate at home.

DLC UPDATE
Looking to engage learners in a different way while on Zoom? Try the Remote-Control feature to make your Zoom more interactive! Available anytime you share your screen from a computer, it gives learners the opportunity to interact with your screen by tapping and typing in Zoom. Try it during reviews, during guided practice activities and more. Learn more here: http://at.bulb.re/NYD
COACH'S CORNER
Promoting social and emotional development for all students in classrooms involves teaching and modeling social and emotional skills, providing opportunities for students to practice and hone those skills, and giving students an opportunity to apply these skills in various situations. Here is a link to a blog that shares 25 ways to integrate social emotional learning in the classroom. Thank you so much for turning in your Room Service Menu and this “Checkin’ in” Google Form. mCLASS and MAP REPORTS
We will be sending out BOY mClass reports (K-2nd Grade) and MOY MAP progress reports (K-5th) home to parents on February 19th. The district will provide a cover letter to go with the reports to help parents understand the tests and the results. Please do not print or download anything yet. The window closes on February 12th and we need to wait for that to get district norms. Let me know if you have any questions.
YEARBOOK
I have started working on the yearbook with some 5th grade learners. Next week I will start sending it class pages to proof. Of course some pictures are missing. We will seek to get pictures from parents. I have created this folder to collect pictures. Please add pictures to the appropriate folder. If you could kindly forward the following blurb to your parents in your weekly newsletter.
PORTRAITS FOR YEARBOOK (for newsletters)
If you were not able to come to school to get your child’s picture taken for the yearbook, please feel free to send them to your child’s designer. You can have your child stand in front of any plain background (white wall is fine), and take a picture. Please make sure the picture is not blurry. Please use the following picture as an example. Email your child’s picture to their designer by February 3rd, 2021 with your child’s full name and the word portrait in the subject line. Example below:
Subject: Ethan Floyd – Portrait
ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK
Draw and Describe is a great game to strengthen listening skills while having fun on Zoom or in the classroom. Students will draw by following verbal instructions and compare their drawings to an original drawing.
