I know we are tired. It's been quite a year and we are ready for some summer relaxation and rejuvenation. I completely get it. We do need to keep "in check" these last two weeks. You and your emotions control the space you are in. Don't forget this. Check your mindset and emotions every day. Check where your energy is going - are you gaining it or draining it?
Also, please remember that some students are not excited about school ending. We are their only safety, security, and predictability. We may need to re-teach many times over these last weeks.
Stay positive (make a positive communication home!) and in control of yourself. Choose your energy wisely.
Let's do this - let's finish strong.
May 27 - National Sunscreen Day
Don't forget that next Thursday is a fun dress up day! Are you ready for shorts, sandals, and sunglasses? Get your wardrobe ready and get your (work appropriate) summer gear on. Prizes will be given to the most festive person.
Last Day of Interventions:
Just a reminder that next Friday, May 28 is our last day for formal interventions (with Jennifer).
Moving Back to Your Site(s):
As we close out the year, you will be able to send your materials through school mail back to your site. You will want to request boxes (if you haven't). Also, mark the boxes with your name, the school to send to, and where they should go within the new school (example - "Justin Kiel to Wilson, room 5C). When you are all boxed up, please connect with Wayne Schultz (McKinley Custodian) and let the custodian know of the site you are returning to. The more communication, the more the items will return to their spot! :)
Teaching and Learning Summer Work:
Reserve the June dates for some summer work around literacy and Fountas and Pinnell. This is a great time to learn and develop our curriculum even more. Ann Mikkalson has sent out invites.
