Great things I saw this week...
I say this every week, but I appreciate so much all that each of you do to help out when staff is absent, from helping the guest teacher to covering a class. Thank you!
The energy in classrooms when you are facilitating learning. If you are passionate about the learning, the kids will be passionate about the learning, too.
The Student Senate Executive Committee wowing the school board on Monday night.
NJHS students helping out students in Homework Club.
Students behaving well for our guest teachers.
Some 5th grade girls that sat with me at lunch today because all of the 5th graders I was sitting with went outside.
Silent reading time and all of the kids reading.
Michelle trying out Screencastify for a lesson in the morning because she had a guest teacher in the afternoon.

Video challenge for Digital Learning Day
I'm so looking forward to seeing the great things that you do with this challenge. If you have a chance, invite me in when you're giving it a try. Here is the link for the challenge if you don't remember where it is.
And the new recipients are...
Rockstar- Jim Binney for his work with Google Expeditions and Google AR
Fix It Award- Jackie Kohnert for all of the work she does with our kids to help them overcome difficult times with family and friends.
I appreciate all that you do with and for our kids and each other every day. Have you ever just reflected on what you did for the day? I do that all the time, and I make sure to find one thing that was a positive from the day. As people, and educators, we often focus on the negative. Do yourself a favor and find that one really positive thing from today and carry that through the weekend. It will make your weekend so much better.
Be the one!
