WE did it! We made the first week one of great success! I am so proud of these young people and their determination to succeed! I appreciate their kindness and patience as I continue to heal. They have been wonderful!
This week...
Tuesday: "regular" day
Wednesday: First day of full uniform! We have church at 8:45 and have been asked that students, if they get cold in church, to put a long sleeve shirt under their uniform shirt (they can take it off after church) or they can wear the long sleeve St. Dennis uniform shirt. They are no longer able to just throw on a sweatshirt or jacket. We also have our first family gathering in the afternoon. I know the 8th graders are excited and hope that the 7th graders jump in and become great helpers.
Thursday: "regular" day; BINGO in the evening!
Friday: We have our first "business education" class. The whole middle school will be participating in a DECA type class that the middle school teachers are developing. The 1st 6 weeks will be a Junior Achievement unit. We are hoping that our final project at the end of the year will be for the students to have learned enough to create a type of business and have a showing of some of the prototypes of products. It is a work in process and are very excited about its future.
Couple friendly reminders:
IF birthday treats must be shared they MUST be something that the student can hand out at the very end of the day as the students are leaving the room. I really work to NOT eat in the lab and we really don't have a lot of time during the day to set aside for celebration. (I am sorry if that sounds "party pooper"ish.)
News articles have been assigned. Their due date for 7 articles is mid-October.
Have a wonderful week!
Many blessings,
Kim
