What a great message! I want to take a moment to say thank you for an incredible first quarter of school. Despite all of the business happening outside of the school day, the students continue to thrive and experience a top notch learning environment. I thank you for all that you have done and continue to do to make sure our students are successful.
Report Card and Conference Reminders:
- Grades due by Sunday, October 16th at midnight.
- Reminder to use Elementary Effort Rubric when assigning your effort grades on the report cards. Be sure to look this over before assigning effort #s.
- Remember that what you do at guided reading is at the instructional level. The grade is based upon instructional level. This chart has instructional levels.
- Experimenting with Student Led Conferences? Check out this link for a great way to empower your students. At the bottom, there are some great resources that can be found on Edutopia.

#LindberghLearns blog: I would like to encourage you to sign up to get the #LindberghLearns blog update. You can do this by visiting the blog and entering your email in the gadget on the side. If you have a blog, this is a great feature to allow parents to get updates immediately when you post.
Some posts to note:
- A snapshot of Lindbergh Learning: pics from district learning walks
- A new model for leadership and learning
- “Launch”ing STEM in elementary
This video is an excellent example of the power of positivity. The message I took away from watching this is to try to smile more and be sure to tell others when they are doing a good job-be that students or staff!
This is new to me but it sounds like many of you are already using this app with your students. What is mindfulness? “We know that to really make a positive impact on children’s mental health, we need to provide them with skills that can be used throughout their lives. If we tune in to our body and our mind through mindfulness and meditation, we can improve our learning.” Take a moment to practice these daily either with your students or as an activity for yourself.
A special thanks to Teri Keutzer for collecting, counting, and delivering the donation to the Backstoppers. Check out the pictures posted to Facebook.
Early Release is this week, Wednesday, October 19th. We will dismiss at 1:35 p.m.
Be sure to remind parents of their conference time.
