Thank You!

BEE Team,

A big thank you from the Admin Team for everyone, I mean

everyones’ participation in yesterday’s faculty meeting. We

hope you feel it was beneficial and helped us move closer to

our goals. As a reminder to those that did not attend, check

with a teammate about what to include in Talent Ed to keep up

to date.

Flicker the Flame

Congratulations to Mr. Bricker’s, Chernauskas’, Crotteau’s, and

Simounet’s classes for the extra super surprise in winning 2nd

place in the Flicker the Flame Jingle Contest. They won $500.

That will go to support our music program. Way to rep the

BEEs! Here is a link to their performance if you have not seen it.

Responsive Classroom Assessment

December 3

On December 3, a Responsive Classroom consult team will do a schoolwide assessment of

RC practices around the building. This will be non-evaluative and similar to a general

learnwalk, and create some reflective opportunities on how we plan and respond to students’

needs. There is nothing for you to prepare for that day.  Proceed as normal.

Yearbook Help

Hello Teachers,

I know we are all looking forward to Thanksgiving Break!  Before we head out on break, I

wanted to touch base about yearbook classroom photos.  Last year Ahna See set up

Google folders by grade level and by teacher. This was a great way to organize photos

in one place.  Over break I will be sharing your teacher folder and grade level folder with

you. This is going to be where we will be asking you to place photos of classroom trips,

activities, and celebrations.  The easiest way is to drag and drop them into the Google folder.

The yearbook team is asking the following from you:

·         Submit 4-8 quality photos from different classroom events, trips, celebrations by

Friday, December 14th.

·         If the photos contain only students from your class, then they will go in your teacher

folder.

·         If the photos contain other students from the grade level, then they will go in the grade

level folder.

·         I know many teachers may be having their celebrations after this date, so feel free to

add more later on.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. Kelli C.

Thank You, Lauren!

We want to thank you, Lauren Estes, for committing and maintaining excellence in the 3rd

grade while Ms. Chernauskas has been out.

Welcome back to Victoria on Monday!
