Get Organized

Today's happiness challenge asks you to calm the paperwork chaos. Do you really need to print it? Do you need that paper? Can it be filed out of sight? Calming the mind and getting to a place of mindfulness is a goal of many. I am throwing away little pieces of paper I really don't need and bringing orderliness to my desk. 



Thanks to you

Thanks to Bonnie and Holly who set up for a weekend of scrap booking at the Learning Store. We know that takes lots of your time. We appreciate what you do to the moon and back! 

Thanks for helping each other out. We are sooo good at this. You see someone needs a hand and you pop right up to assist. We appreciate your kind hearts and big muscles!

Thanks to all who had a hand in sending out grad letters and inactivity letters last week. 

Thanks to Zama staff who welcomed a new student with open arms this week.

Instruction and Programming

Cat tests are being completed in Zama this week. 

The parent student, teacher Survey results are in. We will look at this data on Friday. 

Students need to be getting things done at all schools. Taking a month to do one module is too long. As teachers we need to check in on our kids to see that they are okay and ask if they need anything. 
Kids need to be moving forward not backwards. The owness is on us to show them which way is which! 



Reminder about the happiness challenge. You get to win an extra hour of lunch if you do this. In addition, you get to focus on your happiness! How cool it that! 

Keep your face to the sunshine this week.



Helen Keller is a prime example of someone who received accomodations in her education. She was very successful with those accomodations and even graduated from University. We are so thankful she led the way. If you haven't read the book," Helen Keller," is it a fabulous read.
