Community Update for 9/26
This last Friday I attended a CUE Rockstar Admin "conference" in Marin. CUE (computer using teachers) promotes a mission of "inspiring innovative learners by fostering community, personalizing learning, infusing technology, developing leadership, and advocating educational opportunities for all". I focused my efforts at the conference on learning about improving teacher professional development, on high quality math instructional practices, and on workflow techniques for staying out of the office. The final presenter had basically turned over her office to the PTA and ran her campus from out on campus. One presenter presented on math. I am sharing one of his resources here (Advice for Parents on Promoting Math).
Now for some important announcements for the week:
1. CHE Book Fair starts today: Our book fair starts today and lasts thru Friday, September 30th. The fair is hosted by our WONDERFUL PTA and is located in the Music Room (backside of the cafeteria/MPR). This year, the PTA is partnering with Scholastic to raise money thru the All for Books program. For every dollar we spend at the fair, CHE will buy books for Christmas for needy families in the community AND for every dollar we raise Scholastic will donate one book per dollar to the flooded schools back east. Also, each time you spend at the fair, you get to deposit a token in a jar to vote for which costume I will wear in the near future (pirate vs. mermaid). Thanks for your support!
2. Progress Reports: Progress reports are scheduled to go home on Friday, October 7th. Some progress reports may go home later as the District has experienced some technical glitches related to the new progress report/report card system. Thank you for your patience and if you have any questions related to your student, please feel free to email the classroom teacher or contact me anytime. Also, as a side note, if your student is in grades 1-3, they will likely receive a "progressing" in Physical Education. This is based in the thought that as PE returns, students are growing and learning. This is not a negative reflection on their performance.
3. Coyote Color Run: PTA and CHE are partnering to host our first Coyote Color Run. The October 12th run will take place the last part of the school day and will include grades K-5. Students will run on the field and the event will include color, music, and tons of fun. We are excited to see our students enjoying some physical activity and building community. We will send more information over the next week.
Other important dates:
1. Box Tops due September 30th
2. School Wide Coyote Color Run Pep Rally--October 3rd
3. International Walk to School Day--October 5th
4. Student of the Month Lunch--October 7th
5. No School--October 10th
6. PTA Meeting--October 11th @ 6:00 p.m. in the library
Have a great day, great week, and remember GO Coyotes!!
