Today is day 6 on the specials calendar
Mrs. Sawyer will be out of school for a while. She had unexpected surgery this morning. She should be fine, but needs her rest. I will share more information later today. Come by and see me for hospital details.
PBS meeting after-school today.
I am going to start a special recognition for students who have made certain academic achievements. I am going to call it Principal's Pride. I will review report cards and any student in K-2 will all 4's and any 3-5 student with all A's will be eligible. Students will receive a certificate and be recognized on the website and I will probably have a bulletin board created. This isn't an honor roll-no submissions, I will find who qualifies by reviewing report cards. I will probably have a Principal's PRIDE pizza party at the end of the year. More to come...
Teachers are not required but certainly invited to this Thursday's program. It is going to be a lot of fun.
Upcoming events-
Read across America week-first week in March
2nd quarter data sheets-due March 1. Please fill out completely and save-that way the only thing to add will be quarterly data.
March 2-staff meeting
I have talked to Mr.Torian and we are going to have a daily Olympic medal count report on the morning announcements. Give us a couple of days to get it together. Meanwhile, I encourage everyone to do some Olympic related discussions. (Don't spend the afternoon watching the Olympics though :-) Any ideas would be welcomed and shared as well.

I have two reading comprehension sheets that relate to the Olympic Games as well as the Original Olympics in Western Greece.
Let me know if anyone is interested.
Here is an activity I did with second graders that can be adapted with any grade level. It ties Black History month and the Olympics together as well and includes physical activity. I typed up a sheet that says, "Jesse Owens ran the 100 meter sprint in 10.3 seconds at the 1936 Olympics; I tried it today and I did it in ______ seconds." I just cut the sentences apart and students can take it home and share with parents. You could also graph their results and/or compare to Jesse Owens and to each other. This activity integrates social studies, math, reading and behavior skills such as goal setting. Students can repeat and try to improve their time.
