June 1 #crushingit

The finish line is in sight and you are CRUSHING IT! 

You've got this!

Just a few details... 

On Wednesday the 6th we will have an informal breakfast meeting and do the random drawing for checkout slots. I will be starting checkout at 7 am on the 8th and we will not have a staff meeting that day :) The checkout schedule is in the dates and details doc for you to view, and the official checkout sheet is in there too for you to view. A hard copy will be in your box tomorrow so you can get started on it. Next Monday's PLC is report card prep. 

Also, at the Leadership Meeting, we have an updated BTSN schedule which I will make sure you have before the end of the year.  Have a great final week!

May 26 Happy weekend!

Seen around Stoneridge... what an awesome week!
***Fun pics and then info at the bottom :)

 

Hello and happy three day weekend to you! I hope you have some fun things planned, or maybe nothing is the perfect thing to do!

This year has flown by and it's hard to imagine we have 8 amazing days left! And then on to summer... glorious summer :)

We are ready wrap up the year with lots of special activities and celebrations -- creating memories with each other and our students! You'll want to check out the Dates and Details doc for all of the info and please let me know if there is anything I need to add. In addition to all of the FUN, there is a marathon SST day Tuesday, and an IEP day on the 30th-- we are problem solving with students right til the finish line!

A few end of year items:

• Do not give out report cards early due to kids going on vacation etc. Report cards go out on the last day only. If parents want items, they will need to leave a self - addressed pre-posted envelope to put it in.
• The 8th is a teacher work day and I will provide a check out schedule with 15 minute slots. The times will be a random drawing to sign up, and my goal will be to get you finished in under 15! The check out sheet will be out this week so you can get started on items.
• Keys: if you are not going to be in the same room next year, you will need to turn in your key. If you are staying in your room, you will need to sign that you have kept your key :)
• For the teacher jog lunch on the 30th, I am planning to have all students eat outside, and the special lunch will be in the MP. That will allow us to accommodate the 100-ish kids and not have to squish in the library :)  Teachers, you can just go to lunch at your usual time and just get the kids who picked you from their classes. Pizza, juice, and a treat will await you . in the gym :) (Kim, work with me-- we can find a time for you)
• Field Day schedules were emailed and are also in the dates and details doc. 

That's all for now. Let me know if there is anything you need!

Happy May! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. This week's post is a quick one :) Thank you for all of your hard work to coordinate your amazing Carnival baskets and your help with communicating about the event! If you need any help with getting your baskets out of your rooms or finalizing them please let me or Jessica know. We are here to help you! I am sorry to miss the carnival and know you will be in good hands with Jill-- she will be teacher in charge that afternoon and evening. Thanks Jill! I will keep you posted as I know more about my husband and the following week. I am not sure how much I will miss but Carrie Vincent will also be here to support you when I am out. 

Friday the 11th is also our Final Stoneridge Literary Society of the year! If you would like to submit two names this time because we had to reschedule one, please do. I'll have extra pizza ordered :)

Have a wonderful weekend! 

April 27

It's that time of year, it's hard to believe it's almost May! Open House was a big success and it was so fun seeing all of the smiling and proud kids and parents! Next year we can plan to have it on a Thursday, not at progress report time and also not the night before a PD Cycle day :) Hang in there! The last month is always busy and I look forward to a great May and early June with all of you!

Just as a reminder, testing will be going on throughout May as third grade starts on Tuesday. We do have a different PE schedule for most of May to work around testing. The computer lab will be closed in the morning for testing starting Tuesday. Also, Tamberlyn and I will be doing makeups most afternoons. We will try to be as available as possible depending on the makeups. We will see :)

Have a great weekend!

April 20 #arts #celebrations #badwolfpress

Each week I try to think of just the right thing to say, something timely, even inspirational as I reflect on the week. There is always so much to love in a week here-- and this week was no different! The third grade play was amazing, and thank you so much to our third grade team for all of the heart and soul you and your students put into that show. It was pure joy to watch every child on that stage! And I am reminded so much as Ally shared about the importance of performing arts, and that play was filled with content! I love that students are learning and also having an opportunity to explore the arts and being on stage. Wow!

If you loved the play and would like to do one with your team next year, let me know! Bad Wolf Press is amazing and affordable :) http://www.badwolfpress.com/plays  Check it out! I have done quite a few over the years if you have questions.

I also loved the IEP day and listening to teachers and families work together to support our students with academic and behavioral needs. Debbie, Tamberlyn, and Kristen, thank you for leading our IEPs and being such an amazing team. We had anticipated some rough ones and the day was a huge success with lots of strategies and plans made for students moving forward. I appreciate IEPs as just another place where we build relationships through our work.

Please let me know if you need anything for Open House on Wednesday-- an extra set of hands or anything. I am happy to help!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
