Week of 12.17.18
Hello Brave Community!
Happy Monday Evening! I hope that
you had an enjoyable weekend! This is a short week of learning. Our students will start
their Winter Break on Thursday, 12/20! They
will be out of school for 2 ½ weeks.
During that time encourage your student to cozy up with a favorite book or
even sharpen their math skills by logging in to Dreambox. We
will be back bright and early Tuesday, January 8, 2019 to continue to provide
an exceptional teaching and learning experience for all of our BRAVE students!
As
a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People each week. Our
habit of the week this week is Habit 3: Put First Things First! We teach our students to prioritize and spend
time on things that are most important.
Word of the Week (WOW):
This week’s word is “holiday”. It is a noun that
means a special day of celebration. Partner with us in focusing on
our campus WOW. Ask your student to use the word in a sentence or
perhaps you could be very intentional in your use of our
word. Thanks for your participation!
Library Nights:
Join us in the library most Tuesdays, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. for a
Read Aloud and an activity. The next few Library Nights are scheduled
for 1/15, 1/22, 1/29, 2/5 and 2/12. We hope to see you there!
Looking Ahead:
