Thursday Thoughts October 1
Things are tough right now. I know. There are many things that are causing frustration. Believe me, I hear you loud and clear. But what I also hear everyday are the sounds of students all abuzz about what they are learning. I hear students laughing (and sometimes crying). I see students making videos and projects and conducting experiments. I see students in the hallways, production studio, media center and just about anywhere else that they can find a "spot" to collaborate. I see students engaged in their learning and this is amazing. What we are doing is not easy but it is meaningful. Please hang in there. This is the right time, for the right work and you are the right people to carry it out.
Staff Spotlight
This week I would like to shine the spotlight on Chris Woodall. Chris has worked hard to get our rooms ready to receive students this year. But this spotlight is not about his job. It is about his heart. Chris makes it a point to connect with kids. He has students that he checks on weekly and encourages them to behave or do their best. This week you may have seen Chris walking around with a student who needs a little extra attention. In fact, Chris plans to have the student help deliver items to the classroom each day so that the student can take a short break. There are countless other things that Chris does for students but you would never know it. He doesn't make a big deal about it. We can never really know the positive impact that adults have on kids, but I know that our students love and respect Mr. Woodall and I am grateful for the impact that he is having on our students.Personalized Learning
