Teacher Highlight
These past two weeks I have seen the amazing work of our teaching staff. The dedication, passion and collaboration is commendable. The Hispanic Heritage Celebration is a collaborative effort with the guidance of Sra. Hernandez. Please let her know she is appreciated for her hard work. The event brings out the pride she has for the culture. We are fortunate to work with her.
Testing, Testing, Testing
We have completed the Beginning of the Year (BOY) testing. We would like to see all students succeed. With this data we will be making decisions on all students to strengthen their academic skills. If you have any questions about the testing, the results or the next steps please check in with your child’s teacher. Please feel free to come see me so we can talk data...I love to see decisions be made based on data.
Do you love to wrap?
We are in need of someone crafty who would like to decorate a box to hold the sleepers for Newborns in need. This can be a take home project! Please email - katrina.moller@matsuk12.us if you are interested in this project
Rabbit help
The rabbits are so adorable, but they are multiplying like... well... rabbits! They are digging under our portables 😭 We recently found out that they are also harboring some unwelcome visitors on their skin as well. If you have any live traps and are able to bring them to the school to help catch them and take them somewhere else, we would greatly appreciate it. We have a couple of traps out, but the more we have out, the faster we can get them out! Please see Mrs. Shawn!
Paper jam? Don't worry! We've got Mrs. Brown for that!
Sra. Riedel is in need of someone who loves to make copies! If you have the time to help her with this, please email her at virginia.riedel@matsuk12.us
P.E. volunteer opportunities
We will be outside often this next month. The gym will be used often for our performance practice. Please send in gear for the weather. It's time for layers, jackets, hats, gloves, warm pants, and rain gear when needed. We will start our soccer unit along with cultural games to celebrate Spanish Heritage month. 4th and up will have some time on skateboards too when the weather cooperates so please email Guin.Hill@matsuk12.us to set up a time/day. Students may bring their own soccer ball/soccer gear if they would like to but not necessary. We always accept soccer ball donations. If you would like to help us with being a "referee" or to join as another set of eyes and/or coaching, please see the sign up schedule. Optional- We do not "need" volunteers but you are invited to join us if you are interested or have special skills to share. If you are know a special cultural P.E. related game or skill you would like to share with a group, please sign up and schedule a day or time to come in! (Dancing, jump rope, special song/movement chant/dance from a Spanish speaking country. )
