Good Morning,
I’m hoping you had a fantastic weekend! It’s Harvest Festival week so there will be lots of excitement in the building. Here’s a harvest joke to set the mood: A cyclist who just started a farming business needs to harvest her crops, what does she do? She buys sickles<\/em>.

A few notes to get you going:
1) Harvest Festival this Saturday.<\/strong> Please attend and help out if you can, and while you’re at it, throw on a costume!

2) EBISS this Wednesday<\/strong>: Our first EBISS (<\/strong>Effective Behavior and Instructional Support Systems) is this week! I have EasyCBM and DIBELS data, please come prepared with data you have collected so we can begin (and in some cases continue) to put support in place for students in need. Schedule (sub will cover your class):
8:30-9:00: Kinder
9:00-9:30: Grade 1
10:00-10:30: Grade 2
10:30-11:00: Grade 3
12:00-12:30: Grade 4
12:30-1:00: Grade 5

3) SIW this week<\/strong>: Originally we were supposed to discuss the Equity and Excellence survey (related to influx of big dollars coming from Student Success Act–$1 Billion coming to schools, $11-13 million coming to BLP), but I have just been notified you are supposed to have the day to prep for Conversations next week, a last minute note from Gary. So, the afternoon is yours!

4) <\/strong>Take care of yourself, Take care of each other, Take care of this place. <\/strong> <\/em>Please continue to engage your students and make an effort to include this as a part of everyday in your classroom. Thanks!

5) We have 2 COCC students who will be spending time at Amity starting this week to get hours for their undergrad programs–Zoey Canfield and Skyler Larsen. Zoey will be here Tuesdays and Fridays, Skyler on Wednesdays. Zoey is looking for a wide variety of experiences, and Skyler is most interested in working with Stu to get experience with PE. Please welcome them!

6) As you plan your field trips for the rest of Fall and looking towards the Spring, please try not to plan trips on the day you have Art.

7) Earth Quake Drill this Thursday<\/strong> at 10:17am. We are doing this alongside the Great ShakeOut (https:\/\/www.shakeout.org<\/a>) with millions of other people around the US and the globe. Use the language of “DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON” and be sure kids move themselves away from windows if possible. We’ll hold for a moment and then evacuate like a fire drill. Please prep your class.

8) I have an admin meeting today so will be leaving around 3pm.

Upcoming:<\/strong>
*October 16: EBISS
*October 17: Earth Quake Drill, 10:17
*October 19: Harvest Festival, 4-7pm
*October 23-24: Conversations, No school
*October 25: No school and NO WORK!
*November 1: Cafe Amity

Here’s to a great week ahead!
Andy
