Monday Memo Musings

Lovely morning everyone, Take a great look at this. Notice the little girl in the back holding the girl back. And notice the mediator... Interesting video.... Conflict resolution in action, then... the poke!!!  Our kids are needing your assistance more than ever in the weeks to come. They are hitting the wall. What I mean by that is that our new kids are not getting who we are and need to be trained more. They don't run this school- we all do. Things they need to know: no one is out to get them here, when people look at you- they aren't wanting to fight with you, not all people who whisper are whispering about you- you're actually not that interesting.

Safety first!!!  Suckers- suck! Concern is that we are giving children suckers then sending them on to their busses. A sudden stop on a bus with a sucker in mouth could be dangerous so suckers are outlawed on buses! if we see a sucker we will take it from the child and crush it with our boots. Not really but we will say put it in your back pack kids need to know this so they don't get yelled at by the bus drivers.  A cool little video to tell kids about the imp

Monday memo, September 15th Good day everyone,  Bare with me i am learning a new concept and am putting out my Monday memo way early. I need to get it ingrained in my mind and the only way to do that is to actually do a blog for Monday memo now, while i have it in my brain. There are videos embedded in this be sure to click on them.  Hoping you used your weekend wisely.Instead of dredging the coming flurries which will cover our lawns in the months to come ,embrace fall in all its splendor. The crunch of the leaves, the freshness of the air being able to wear shoes! Love fall!!  Our first full week last week had you really knowing who your kids are and realizing who needs what. It is important to go over with our kids the difference between a need and a want.  Ie: i need to phone my mom.  Teacher asks_ For what reason Student says- to see if Jimmy can come over teacher- its is not that you need to phone your mom - really you want to phone mom to arrange to pla
