Week of August 29

 Good afternoon,

I hope everyone has had an awesome, well-rested weekend. We had an amazing week last week!! Mostly everyone had share their Museum about me. we also had a chance to share in Angelina's birthday!! We had cupcakes and everyone received a goody bag. Tanvi, was so sweet and made a Pokemon gift for her and a pop-up card for everyone to sign....melted my heart.  Let's continue to talk to our babies about random acts of kindness, so it can continue to trickle into the classroom.  

Also, I am starting Class Dojo. Please be sure to join, here's the link (Class Dojo link). This will give you a daily analysis of your little hero's behavior. It also is a link we use to watch videos and have discussions about a positive mindset, which falls in line with our 7 Mindsets. You will receive more information on the 7 Mindsets on Tuesday night during orientation. I hope everyone had the opportunity to see the last post about parent orientation on Tuesday evening. There will be 2 virtual sessions, one from 5-5:30 (link) and the other from 5:45-615 (link).
