Whew, busy week! & WSSN is BACK!
We jumped right back into the swing of things after Fall break! It was a busy week with SOR walks, field trips, and the remaining 1/2-day planning times. There is A LOT of information included in this week's edition of Stinger Stats in preparation for the next two weeks. Please be sure to read through carefully. We have another FULL week before conference week.
EXCITING NEWS! WEST SIDE STINGER NEWS IS BACK, AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Mrs. Moseley has been hard at work making some BIG & EXCITING changes to WSSN! The news show will now be available every MONDAY morning. Each week, our student anchors will take the school around the hive in 5 (or less than 5 minutes) to learn about the lunch menu, weather forecast, school and community events, birthdays, and a buzz-worthy fact. Note: To protect your instructional time and morning routines, this is a weekly news show, not a daily news show.
What YOU should do? ON MONDAY MORNINGS, following the daily pledge and moment of silence, please play the weekly news show for your class. You can access the news show at the link below to play for your class on MONDAY, OCTOBER 6th!
***In the future, we hope to create a short cut on your ViewBoard desktop for easy access. Stay tuned for this!
