Congratulations! You did it....well almost. One more day, can you believe it? This time last year we were in the midst of switching between eLearning and hybrid. We were stressed, unvaccinated and unsure of what the future would hold. And now, things are looking a little brighter! Honestly, I never in a million years would have imagined that we'd still be wearing masks and talking about COVID 365 days from then, but here we are! And, it's safe to say that WE DID IT! We have returned to a semi-normal school year, our kids are happy and learning! Yes, we're stressed, yes we're overwhelmed and yes we're exhausted, but we have so much to celebrate! We've come a LONG way!
So....CONGRATULATIONS! YOU DID IT! Please be sure to unplug and unwind over winter break. You deserve it. You're the WORLD'S BEST STAFF!

I had another blog post planned for today, but then yesterday....
I was walking down the hallway on a mission as usual and this happened: A cute little K kiddo stopped me in the hall and said, "Mrs. Prati are you going to make an announcement so I can go out and eat the snow." I said, "What? You mean you want to go out and eat snow now?" She said, "Yes! Or, at recess!" I said, "Well, I'm not going to encourage the eating of snow but if you decide to do it, just don't eat the yellow snow!" She stopped for a minute and I could tell she was thinking and then she said, "Wait, snow is white! NOT YELLOW!.....Oh....wait....but if a dog pees in it, then it's yellow! But, we don't have dogs here!" Then she stopped for a minute again and said, "WAIT! Yes we do!" (she remembered Theo!) Oh how I love elementary school! Thank you all for your preparation for today!
Dave, Sharee, Mark, Molly, Herb and Kori had only positive things to say about JW. I'd like, however, to apologize if you were on the schedule and visitors did not come to your room. They ended up kind of wandering around without following the plan. Here is some of the feedback from the team: -There is A LOT of learning going on! -Common language is apparent throughout the building -R Factor language is happening all over the building -Kids LOVE going to school here -RTI is the best around -In many schools they can easily pinpoint one things over others that the school is really great at, but here it is everything -David Stewart said, "You have to have a lot of energy to work here." -So much intentionality AS ALWAYS, I AM SO PROUD TO BE PART OF THIS AMAZING STAFF. I know it's been a hard year, but please take a minute to give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. |
