Two Hoots and A Holler

Hoot #1

Teachers are known for their willingness to help others, so it was not surprise when we saw so many teachers reaching out to help fellow teachers in Texas!  Hurricane Harvey hit Texas relentlessly!  These teachers, students, and citizens need our help!  Our school has 2 former coworkers who teach in Texas.  They have not been able to get in their classrooms, so they are unsure about the amount of damage that was done.  We are sure teachers across the state lost tons of supplies that they spent their own hard working money on, and we encourage YOU to reach out and help! We recently read on Facebook that Sun, Sand, & Second Grade has a link to sign up to adopt a classroom.  We thought this was a great idea, and we wanted to share in hopes that many of you will adopt a classroom.  Click the picture below to sign up!

Most importantly, continue to pray for the state of Texas and many others who have been effected by this devastating storm!  

 

Hoot #2

This year we began a new positive behavior strategy for the cafeteria.  We saw on Facebook one day over the summer (can't remember exactly who posted it) the idea of the "Golden Spatula".  We took this idea to our principal and cafeteria manager, and they thought it was a great idea to help enforce cafeteria expectations.  Each week a class from each grade is awarded the Golden Spatula!  In order to receive this award, classes must follow cafeteria expectations, have good manners, clean up after themselves, etc.  Our cafeteria staff decided the winning class each week.  Our kids look forward to who will win each week!

 

This Week's Holler...

 This week's holler goes out to Briana at Sun, Sand, & Second Grade!  She is a teacher in Florida.  She has taken on the responsibility, with the help of friends, to help teachers in Texas!  Her kindness and willingness to help others deserves this week's holler!!  Thank you Briana for this great idea and helping teachers across the nation unite for a good cause!
