I hope this weekly newsletter/blog finds you all having a wonderful week! The students are really hitting the books hard this week, and I can tell their minds are being challenged. As we are getting into school, we are still working out some kinks. The arrival/drop off is getting better, but just remain patient as we all are learning the system. Thank you for understanding.
This week brings new activities that are happening in our building:
First I would like to tell you to check out the "Eagle News" tab. Each week I will be uploading pictures of student's work or things that are happening in our building. I feel this is a great way for you to be included and informed on the events/work going on in our school. There are several pictures of student's work under the tab!!**The right side of the blog has lots of important information, so be sure to look there every week!**
NEW: Terrific Tickets have started this week. You will find a tab at the top of the blog. If your child receives a terrific ticket, their picture will be posted under this tab. You will also receive an email letting you know when they will be honored at the next Thursday chapel. We would like you to come if possible and see your child receive a certificate in front of the whole elementary. This is an honor, and we want the students to be proud and encouraged about the choices they are making each day.
New on the blog this week is "Dinner Discussions." I like to encourage the daily "talk." So on the RIGHT SIDE of the blog home page you will find a POLL. I would like for you to ask your child(ren) the question(s) and let them help poll the answer(s). This is a great way for us all to be communicating together in an exciting way. We can all learn new things about each other and use the Internet! So let's discuss and communicate even if it's just a fun poll question.
Also NEW this week is Princi "PAL" time. I am really wanting to get to know each child in the elementary. They are all so bright and encouraging to be around. So the teachers and I have teamed up and found times that I can come around and read short stories to the classes each week. This week I read about courage and perseverance. The book taught us that "brave people think things through and ask 'Is this the best way to do this?' and we win many of life's rewards by learning how to hang in there and work till the very end!" I am really enjoying this time, and I look forward to being in class with your children over the next couple of weeks. We really do have wonderful students and AMAZING teachers!!
The pre-kindergarteners had a special guest come last Friday. "Bringing Books to Life" is a free preschool literacy program created by the Nashville Public Library. They provide a fun-filled story time in the classroom. The children received the benefit of a rollicking read-aloud with music and movement. They had a blast with this neat program. A few housekeeping items:
**Mini Cheer Campers will be performing at this Friday's tailgate and home football game!
**We are having a girl scout troop here at school, so be looking for information to come home soon about this program!
**Fine Art Academy money due Monday, August 29th.
**Lunch Menus- the menu will be posted each month on RenWeb. The following items are served daily: Jello, GoGurt, Salad, Green Beans, and a fruit choice(they can choose any of those sides with their entree). She usually has 2-3 vegetables on the line. If you have more questions let us know! Feel free to join us anytime for lunch. We would love to see you!
