12 days of Holiday Cheer!

Image
It's our favorite time of year - Holidays in the Hive!  We love surprising you throughout the month with littles treats and treasures to bring you holiday cheer.  Some teams began the off campus outings today, with more scheduled next week.  We hope you find you find the time for team fellowship to fill your cup. Next week, we will begin Winter MAP.  Please reach out to Carla if you have ANY questions regarding your test sessions.  In addition to MAP, teachers should continue to make progress on completing LDA deadlines to ensure all data is entered by 12/16.  With all the holiday excitement and magic, students can be easily distracted.  Let's keep our days thoroughly planned with intentional activities to support practice of skills!   SPOT RALPHIE AND OTHER MOVIE MOMENTS FROM A CHRISTMAS STORY THIS DECEMEBER!   STINGER STORIES Read the latest edition of Stinger Stories at the link below! https://app.smore.com/n/kb5ad UPCOMING PLCs ...

Just FIVE more days until Thanksgiving break - how is that even possible!?  Next week will bring several field trips and LOTS of visitors to campus with Thanksgiving lunches & Kinder Thanksgiving play.  Our next instructional week is critical time as we inch closer to the end of the semester.  Continue to maximize instruction by keeping your days well-planned, protecting small group instruction in reading and math, and making progress through your content standards and modules/units.  Work together as a team to keep your days thoroughly and intentionally planned!
