Week at a Glance Nov 6-10, 2017

Bulldog Squad-

Happy November! TWO more weeks to be amazing for kids until a well deserved break! This week, we will begin encouraging you (even more) to learn from one another with the Pineapple Board!  I will send a follow up email explaining how we will use the board.

The Pineapple board is an idea that has been with me since last year. I waited too long to start it. Waiting for the right time, nervous about the reception, etc. But I realized that it was just time to TRY. I am excited about the possibilities!

I challenge you this week to think about what will REV up student learning. What are some ideas that you have wanted to try but have been scared to do just do it? Go for it!



IMPACT comes from ACTION,
~Sanders

1. Shout Out to Ms. Gray for hanging awesome student art all across the building! It makes the building so inviting-and kids get to see their artwork everywhere they go! #aboveandbeyond
2.Thank you  Jeri Bailey  for your awesome KINDNESS tweets!
3. Shout out to Rice, Orton, and Wells for writing an ICE award application with a short turn-around time!
4. WHOOP WHOOP goes to EVERYONE that is getting reading and gearing up for JHCr8! It takes planning to make it smooth and we are hearing some great ideas!
5. Shout out to all the staff and students  for collecting over 600 pairs of socks! WOW!!! We are taking them to the shelter tomorrow.

Week at a Glance October 30-November 3, 2017

Bulldog Squad-

What a week! It was one of those weeks for me where everything hits you at once. Kids are sick, two days off campus for training that I didn't think I needed, a surprise visitor, and a very COLD Fall Carnival. I think we are given those types of weeks for a reason. It's like a "knock back to reality" type of week.

A "you better be thankful for the little things" type of week.
A "your pride needed a little shove" type of week.
A "you still need to GROW big time" type of week.
A "you need to lean on others" type of week.

And at the end of it, I am thankful. I am thankful that I went to a training that I didn't think I needed because in reality, I learned so much more about instructional coaching than I thought I could. I am thankful that I was able to hold my sweet kiddo a little longer than usual one day. I am thankful that our visitor was able to see all the great things happening at our school and he even had a little fun doing it! I am VERY thankful that we had the carnival- it was so fun to see the kids AND adults having a GREAT time. (I know my hot dog team had a lot of good laughs together that are too far in between.)

This week taught me that I need to  lean on others, open my mind even more, and laugh through it all. I don't know everything that I think I know. Sometimes, we  just have to say "HEY! I thought I knew this, but I don't. Can you help me?"

Someone close by will be more than happy to help you grow.




Thank you all for making this a great place to learn AND work,

~Sanders


1. BIG Shout out to FaLessha, Sarah, and PTA friends for putting on a GREAT Fall Carnival! Families left smiling-and that's what its all about!
2. Shout out to Suzanne for helping me get all of our RTI letters out on Friday while I was being pulled in and out of the office. Thank you all for being flexible in getting those done too!
3. Shout out to EVERYONE for attending the Goals PLC Meeting on Monday and discussing goals and what is best for kids!
4. WHOOP WHOOP goes to Marie, Blanca A, and Nancy for helping me with kiddos in the office on Friday!

Week at a Glance October 10-13, 2017

Bulldog Squad!

Lots of hard stuff has hit our bulldog family in the last couple of weeks. And I mean TOUGH STUFF-sick or hurt kiddos,worried parents, lost love ones, and devastation to a home. Whew!

But you know what is cool? I saw our team come together to make sure we didn't fall apart.

That's one of the neatest things about my job. I am able to see all the little things that people do to help each other. People have been staying late, helping with jobs outside of their duties, organizing collections, driving to spend time and pray with our teammates, and many other awesome acts of service-all with a smile on their faces.

You are all a different caliber of staff-I am humbled by your empathy and willingness to give. It reminded me of the perfect quote from Harry Potter (NERD ALERT) below...


Thanks for going above and beyond,

~Sanders

1. Shout out to Yadira Vargas for staying late to work in a teammates classroom to help her out!
2. Shout out to the THIRD GRADE team for coming together with a plan for lesson plans, prep, and helping those out that have been teaching in Ms. Harnest's classroom.
3. Thank you to EVERYONE who has donated anything-whether it be time, snacks, money, clothes-it means so much!
3. Thank you FaLessha Esslinger  for organizing an awesome walk and bike to school day!
4. Thank you Anika Horgan (principal of DZ) for coming and cheering our students on with your cheerleaders and mascot! It says so much that you are willing to spend time on our campus!

  • Walk-through focus this week will  be TEKS alignment and structured academic conversations (use of sentence stems, complete sentences, etc) Also, we will occasionally talk to students about their goals during walkthroughs.
