Respect

This upcoming week is the final week to teach Respect!!  I hope that you all have wonderful examples to provide with your respect lessons.  Shout Out to Erin Leggett for inviting me to witness her class STOMP OUT DISRESPECT.  I've included some pictures of some of her savvy second graders' in progress work and trust me... I heard them stomping out tons of disrespect while I was outside on the playground near her classroom.

Thursday is our first AR/Citizenship Assembly

Please remember to add your student of the month (Respect) to the list... there are many empty spots and we want to continue to encourage out wolf pack to exemplify the character traits we are teaching them.  If you have not yet listed your student, please do so here: Citizenship Awards

There have been a few referrals and requests regarding students not being engaged in class.  Check out this brief article with some really quick, classroom ready, you can do it today after lunch time strategies:  Strategies to Use in 5 minutes

Shout Outs

Shannon- Shannon has the patience of a saint!!! she is always calm, cool, and collected no matter how chaotic or crazy the front office can be. I am so glad that she is a point person for our parents (and teachers!), as she is patient, kind, and genuinely cares. Thanks, Shannon!!!!

Carly Wudel- Ms. Wudel is a very welcoming teacher (along with all Markham teachers). She was encouraging to my student in his first time in her PE class.

Karen Sellers- Mrs. Sellers works so hard to make sure my students that are in Excel are fit with the right group.

Madeleine O'Rear- Ms. O'Rear is another inclusive teacher that makes all students feel welcome.

All Markham Custodian staff!- Every chance I get I teach my cubs that custodians should be seen, respected and appreciated just as much if not more than any teacher or office staff is. I would like to shout out all that ensure that Markham is clean and ready to go! So thank you Linda, Rolando, Kevin, and any others that I am missing for all that you do!

Mrs. Marin- She is a fantastic teacher and flexible about me integrating a student into her class.
