It’s going too fast…
Way too fast! Put on the brakes! I’m still not ready to say goodbye and love the learning momentum we have going! Only 15 days!
Jog-A-Thon – This Week
This week we will participate in our annual Jog-A-Thon! Round of applause to Anna Carrasco, Molly Pincherli and Sneha Hande for organizing and helping on the day of the Jog-A-Thon for these kiddos!
- Students will receive shirts the day of the event. These will be put on the shirt they are wearing that day.
- Students will need to BRING THEIR OWN WATER BOTTLE that day. There will be water to refill these bottles.

Character Education – Perseverance
This past Friday, Nicole Meyer (a Kindergarten parent from my class last year) taught our last Character Education lesson for the year! This may have been my favorite character trait ever! This trait may be one of the most important ones we focus on this year as it is all about The Try! Trying can be scary, risky, uncomfortable…and as we all know as adults can have the biggest payouts! Trying gets us to our goals, builds confidence and pride and encourages to continue trying new experiences. It also eliminates “get it right” mentality! The students shared some examples of their own understanding of perseverance and the lesson closed with a classic read of The Little Engine that Could!
Round of applause for Nicole Meyer and all her dedication this year!!
