Hoot #1
We had our first house meeting this past Friday! The students LOVED the time they got to spend with their housemates! The Welty House made slime, the King House made ice cream, the Presley House made silhouettes to hang around the school, and the Grisham House painted rocks for a rock garden. We plan on rotating these activities through our house meetings so that every child gets the opportunity to participate in all of these fun ideas! We absolutely love that the fifth graders are getting to be role models for the kinders...and what GREAT role models they are!! After the activities, the Grisham House had a little extra time, so they got to have a dance party!
Hoot #2
Our second hoot is all about teacher morale! We are striving to keep teacher moral high at our school! We will have our first staff outing this Friday after school, and we have begun secret pals. Another way to keep each other smiling and happy is to pass along monthly "happies" to various teachers. Last month some teachers got penned! If you got penned, then you paid it forward by sneaking a pack of pens onto another teacher's desk. It gets fun when there is a lot of teachers who have already been penned because you have to sneak around to find one that doesn't have a sign hanging outside their door without getting caught. This month we are "mugging" each other! Can't wait to see who all "gets mugged" with a special cup filled with treats this month!
