As we welcome the start of December, it’s incredible to think that we have only 13 days left before our holiday break. This time of year always brings a unique blend of excitement and reflection. It’s a chance to look back at our achievements and the progress each student has made.

These final weeks are an opportunity to deepen our impact, reinforcing the learning and growth we’ve nurtured throughout the term. Let’s continue to engage our students with the same passion and dedication that has marked our year so far. As we count down to the break, let’s make every day count, filled with learning, joy, and a sense of accomplishment.

Here’s to a December filled with meaningful moments and a successful wrap-up to this part of our educational journey!

PURPLE MOMENTS – Please fill out the form if you want to give any shout outs to anyone.

Thank you Lance for spending time in my class with my students and allowing me take a little break and just relax knowing that my students are still well taken care of. Sometimes, it’s just the little things that matter!

Shoutout to Priscila- She goes above and beyond as a sub. She’s organized, thoughtful & she always shares an overview of how the day went when she leaves. The ES is lucky to have someone as joyful as her working with our students! Thank you!

HS Musical Information

The HS ASA Musical this year is “Seussical the Musical”.
Seussical is a family friendly and community building show full of catchy songs, recognizable characters, and deeper themes masquerading as children’s entertainment. At a tight one hour, it’s the perfect show for the entire family.
I’m sending you info in advance just to see if there is something you might want to connect in your class or division.
First off, I do hope you will join us…and bring your kids….and encourage your classes to attend…we’d love to see you in the audience.

Secondly, if you have a chance to read a Seuss story in your classes they may be able to see the characters come to life on stage! 

Third, if you can think of any interesting collaborations, I’d love to hear them! As the costumes get built and the songs get rehearsed and the choreography gets polished…maybe a few Seussical the Musical pop-ups can happen around the ES or MS. Who knows?
The show will run February 13, 14, 15
As we get closer to show time, I will definitely make sure the word gets out.

Brag Board

The Brag Board is here to celebrate awesome ideas and helpful resources. Share a link from a colleague, something cool you’ve found, or anything you think could benefit others.

Shout out to Laura and Melvin doing a great co teaching lesson around their Super Unit. Students had to collaborate and make decisions with consequences or rewards based on the choices they made. Watching Melvin an Laura did the co teaching seamlessly. The game that the students were playing that made them think deeply and have very rich conversations. Well done Laura and well done Melvin.
