Mojo

We are so fortunate that Mrs. Ramsdell is willing to share her darling dog, Mojo, with us as a mini school mascot.  Mojo has been willing to help all kinds of kids with different problems and is making his way around the school reading stories about dogs to all the students.  Mojo is pictured here with his mom, Mrs. Ramsdell, reading to Ms. Doll's classroom.

Kindergarten Readers!

Students from Mrs. Hall's class came and read three readers to me this morning and left with a Smartie!

Technology Night

Our first Family Literacy Night was well attended.  Our hot dog buffet was a great success!  Several teachers presented on what each of their grade levels use for technology and demonstrated several programs for the parents and students that attended.

Our next Family Literacy Night is September 15.  We will serve sub sandwiches (bring your own drinks and sides) and we would love to have Grandparents join us!

School Scavenger Hunt!

So many things have happened at school this summer to get ready for our students.  I have taken a few photos of our building of some of the new sites.  See if you can guess where they are located!

Rugrats as Therapy

Yes, I countdown to the first day of school! I love the first day of school. I love August, although I usually prefer it to be below 100!

The beginning of school can trigger some conflicting emotions for students as they prepare to begin the routine again. Some students experience fears about school that you as parents can help with. I read this article and felt it had wonderful information for parents at this time of year.

Summer School Fun!

 



Summer School students met and visited with Warpaint and Susie, his rider.  Warpaint and Susie are the mascots for the Kansas City Chiefs.  Susie came and talked to us about Warpaint's story, which includes disappointments and heartache but that led to her dream job of representing the KC Chiefs!  Susie discussed setting goals for ourselves in order to set a path for our lives and to work hard to achieve those goals.  It was a great assembly!
