March 25-29

Dear ES Team,

Whew! Last week was a whirlwind– and this next week is sure to be the same.  As always your flexibility is always appreciated on days where our routines are disrupted.  As we journey through Project X, please let me know if there are scheduling glitches that we can respond to a correct– where there are problems, there is a solutions!  

Here are some of my most grateful moments this week:

• Observing the G4 Documentary and thinking about the careful and complex planning involved in the successful presentation of these student-centered celebrations.
• Listening to the G5 Students share their Cat Tien experience and appreciating the  commitment, compromise, and teamwork necessary to prepare our students for this Week Without Walls experience.
• Enjoying an amazing potluck breakfast– and celebrating all of the this quarter’s accomplishments.
• Seeing so many happy parents documenting their child’s educational journey– and realizing how much they value the work that our classroom teachers, special area teachers, and TA’s do with our students everyday!

Cheers,

Donna
