Greetings All!
I hope the weekend was wonderful and restful after our first week back from Winter Break–it can often seem like a very long week! I got out for my first cross-country ski of the year on Saturday and it was a glorious day–perfect conditions! In the last few years I’ve enjoyed skiing on the fat tire trails at Wanoga, often I see very few people (just the way I like it!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m assuming you’ve all read Dr. Cook’s email from Friday. The message is clear: we’re doing all we can to stay in school, but don’t be caught off guard if we need to go remote for a short stint. Let’s continue to do all we can to stay healthy and stay in school!

A few notes to get you going:<\/strong>
1) Student Support Meetings on Thursday<\/strong>, Gina will be here to cover classes:
8:15-9:00am: Grade 5
9:00-9:45am: Grade 1
10:00-10:45: Kinder
12:00-12:45: Grade 3
12:45-1:30: Grade 2
1:45-2:30: Grade 4

**Please remember to take some time to prepare for the meeting using the new form: SSM Prep Forms Folder<\/a>. Ideally you could have this done by Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest–it will give me, Sara, and Haley time to look at it in advance. Thanks!

2) As we are being extra vigilant with mitigation efforts we will put Buddies and Community Time on hold for a few weeks. As soon as it feels right we’ll get back to both of these treasured activities!

3) I am in the process of updating our Informational Video for the Lottery. I will need a little help from many of you, especially those that are new to Amity (and some veteran teachers who may want to re-do some of their original videos since you filmed them while you were at home!). I’ll reach by email to each of you and then can follow up in person.

4) We’ve got some book money to spend and we’d like to be thoughtful about how we spend it. Sara is looking in to books to support striving readers, and Alanna is looking into high interest\/low level readers. We’d like input from you as well in terms of types of books you are looking to add to your classroom library<\/strong>-fiction, non-fiction, poetry, informational, etc. Please be thinking about this in the next week or two and we’ll reach out to gather input from you soon.

5) Please take a few minutes to take the YouthTruth Survey soon: ytsurvey.org\/acestaff22<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>. This is for ALL STAFF. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Grade 4 will soon be getting our composting program up and running again! Stay tuned for details and to find to how you can help.

7) No school next Monday in honor of MLK, Jr. Are you doing anything in your classroom to honor this great man? Need resources? Please reach out if you do!

Upcoming<\/strong>
January 13<\/strong>: Student Support Meetings-see above
January 17<\/strong>: MLK, Jr Day-no school
February 1<\/strong>: DIBELS

Here’s to a great, and healthy, week ahead!
