It’s Seuss Week! While it looks different this year, we’re still going to make it amazing for our students! Thanks to Amanda for putting together our spirit week line-up and sharing Instagram images we can all post & share with parents! Each day, be sure to pick up the giveaways/trinkets in your mailbox to send home with students! Also, remember to sign up to bring your students to the media center and read your students a story in that setting! Amanda will distribute a new Dr. Seuss book to each homebase teacher — raffle it off to a student in your class! And remember to check out last year’s website and share it with families.

Happy New Year and Welcome Back! I hope you enjoyed a restful, relaxing break–time to disconnect from work thoughts, time to enjoy family and friends and to just enjoy time to relax. I’m hopeful this time disconnecting has been just what you needed! 

If you’re feeling the ‘Sunday scaries’ about getting up early tomorrow, I completely understand! It’s hard for adults and kids to get back into the swing of things after such a long break. This is a great time to re-connect with students and let them do so with their classmates by giving them time to talk about what they did over break! Keep in mind, it’s a great time to review classroom management basics as we embark upon a new calendar year at Kennedy. It might be helpful to revisit the school-wide SEL presentation with your own class of students this week, as behavior expectations and classroom routines are revisited.

Here’s our week at a glance:

Monday, January 10th
Welcome Back! Keep in mind…..Some students will be BURSTING to share their breaks with you! Some kids will be DYING for a HUG! Some kids will need to shake off the cobwebs! Allow for it all! Connection over curriculum on Monday!  Let’s reignite our passion and remember to bring the awesome this week!
