Week of February 25, 2019
Hi everyone,
As I write this, I see a rain snow mix outside. It is very possible that there will be a now day tomorrow since there are 5 inches expected in Eugene overnight. We will see what the transportation department and Superintendent’s office decide to do about the weather! This week we have many things popping, ESSA, Equity Meeting, PLCs, and North DLI Immersion observations too. Please check the schedule below for the most up to date information.
• Classified Appreciation week is coming! March 4 through 8th is Classified Appreciation week. We will be celebrating the classified staff all that week with some special gifts and appreciation. We absolutely love our classified staff and they make our school go. Friday, March 8th bring a little less lunch as our certified staff will be bringing something special for your meal.
• Friday Early Release PD – This Friday’s Early Release PD is a Reading Progress Monitoring meeting. Principals have not been given the plan for this meeting yet, but I expect we’ll get some direction at Tuesday’s elementary principals’ meeting, so stay tuned.
• Student Teacher Celebration– 4J is doing something new this year. HR is hosting a Student Teacher CelebrationMarch 4th at the Ed Center Auditorium, 4:00-5:00. Please, share the above linked flyer with your student teachers. If you know you will have a student teacher this spring, they are also invited and you are welcome to join the event as well. Thank you in advance for helping spread the word.
• Bringing the Science of Learning Into Classrooms (it’s about relationships)– Years of research prompted a group of scientists to ask whether we should rethink the way we do school. “The science says to us that, in fact, the way the brain functions and grows, it needs safety, it needs warmth, it actually even needs hugs,” explains Stanford professor Linda Darling-Hammond. “We actually learn in a state of positive emotion much more effectively than we can learn in a state of negative emotion. That has huge implications for what we do in schools.” According to Darling-Hammond, there are a few ways school can shift to better align with these insights. See this Edutopia Article for details on the importance of building strong, long-lasting relationships with students, understanding where each student is developmentally to scaffold instruction, and integrate practices that explicitly address belonging and safety.
