Kindness week-
This week, students took part in kindness week. Please
follow the link below to see photos of their acts of kindness.
Little 8 - Sunday through Wednesday I’ll
be coaching the Junior Varsity Girls Basketball team at Little 8. A team sport
encourages students to succeed academically and understand the importance of
success being achieved when everyone works together. I am a huge proponent of
sports, physical education and adding movement to lessons. I highly recommend
parents providing opportunities for their children to take part with group or
individual sports.
Wednesday holiday - In observance of All
Souls Day there will be no school on November 2nd.
Reading Fluency - This Thursday
afternoon students will have their reading fluency tested.
Movember - To raise awareness for men’s
health I’ll be taking part in Movember. Beginning November 1st, I’ll encourage
and challenge students to be physically active for the 30 days of November and
raise awareness regarding issues concerning men’s health. Please follow the
link below to see a short video on Movember.
