{Other NOTES from the DUGOUT}
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: These are the events/fun things you are invited to participate in these next two weeks. {Thank you to helping narrow the list of fun down so we don't get so overwhelmed}. My goal is to remind you all how excited I am to see such dedicated employees at BRMES everyday and to share kindness and love with our students.
- DECORATE your classroom door!
- Dress up with some fun HOLIDAY FRIDAY SPIRIT DAYS (Dec. 11 'Ugly Sweater Day'; Dec. 18 'Holiday Spirit Day - wear Santa hats, or holiday fun wear)
- HAY RIDES for each Classroom (just a small loop around PLMS with songs and hot cocoa and back to the school). SIGN UP HERE!
- STAFF HOLIDAY PARTY will be Friday, Dec. 18th 3:45-5:30 ~ start with a hay ride from the parking lot and go somewhere for warm drinks/snacks/social and hay ride back to the school by 5:30. Anyone coming on the hay ride social event should bring one wrapped Christmas ornament for an exchange event.
- Consider "GIVING" if you/your family is able: 1. Select a paper gift tag from our Giving Tree OR 2. donate a small item to the McCall Rehab Senior Center OR 3. donate to the Cram the Van box OR 4. donate a pair of socks for our Daisy Girl Scout drive.
MTI Math Feedback: At our next staff meeting, one item on the agenda will be to decide how to best utilize Jonathan and Sam from the MTI Project as they will be in McCall to work with us and DES on December 17th. They will meet with the district math team after school that day for sure. Be thinking about how your team would like to utilize them.
Math Probes and Writing Benchmarks: Please turn in your class scores on one class sheet so we can input them into Milepost. I also am the 'storage' for all math probes. Just toss them on my table or in my mailbox anytime with weighted scores on top of the stack.
