New Years Resolutions

One week until winter break:)  Try to keep routines going in your classroom as that is helpful for student learning and appropriate behavior.  Don't forget to come to Perkins on Tuesday from 7:15-8:30 for breakfast and time to socialize with our HP staff.  Everyone is invited.  Check out the Tellegami invite On Friday we will have the sing along from 2:30-2:50 in the gym and immediately following we will do Santa or Snowman Bingo from 3-3:30.  Our all school celebration dance will be done right before Bingo starts.  

I want to wish all of you a wonderful winter break.  Take some time to enjoy family and friends and do something kind for yourself.  

It's hard to believe it's almost 2014.  Happy New Year!
That is a time to stop and reflect on our lives and how we can improve ourselves.  Most of us make resolutions to save money, build more time for family, and to lose weight.  We also need to think about our jobs.  Here is an article to help you think about resolutions for 2014.  We are always trying to do more, meet every individuals need, try all of the new technology ideas out there, etc.  We need to focus our efforts and celebrate our progress.  This article may inspire you in making a resolution for school.  New Years Resolutions for Teachers

You may want to make New Years Resolutions with your students when you come back on Jan. 2nd and 3rd.  This is a 

good follow up to our Hopes and Dreams we made in the Fall. Students can reflect on their hopes and dreams and either update them or make New Years Resolutions.  Here are some resources to support making New Years Resolutions with students:
