Another great week of learning, relationships, and fun!
Coaching Note From Katie:
Productive Struggle - all staff please watch:
Toot Your Horn Thursday:
Sydney Hall was nominated by Danika Brown for "Sydney goes above and beyond each day to support our students here at McKinley. She works hard to create relationships and holds high expectations. Sydney displays strong communication skills and works hard to keep everyone on the same page. Thank you for being so amazing!"
Our Recycling Team was nominated by Jess Hanson for "After a couple weeks of learning their new recycling routes, each member of the Recycle Team has shown great leadership, responsibility, respect, and teamwork. I can count on them to do their job independently and without any reminders - amazing! They've really taken ownership of their roles and should be proud of the great job they all are doing. Thank you!"
Teaching Staff - Intellectual Safety Survey:
Don't forget to be doing the intellectual safety survey in November. Please see the email from 10/31 with more details. All surveys need to be done by Friday, December 6.
Playground - New Equipment:
Next week, we are getting some new playground equipment installed. As of now, they are planning for 1.5 days of installation. It will either be Wednesday/Thursday OR Thursday/Friday. Once we know a date, we will inform you. On these days, please plan to have students NOT play on the playground (they can play in the field, bus lane, etc).
American Education Week - next week!
Just a reminder - next week is a time to celebrate EACH of you as educators in the building!
Coaching Note From Katie:
Productive Struggle - all staff please watch:
Below is a quick 2 minute video explaining productive struggle and the importance of it in a learning experience Often, we think productive struggle falls on the role of a teacher in designing instruction. I would argue this is almost as important for all of us - when we work with kids in academics, social emotional, and expectations in general. It's important we allow for this to ultimately teach students that struggle can lead to true learning. Please take the time to watch.
