Day 3 of the 2010-2011 “Honeymoon”

This is super quick because I just had a 90+ minute technology meeting.

Today – assembly
It covered a ton of subjects…..
We discussed assembly expectations—I’m big on facing the speaker/entertainer at all times.  I also expect them to remember the it is all about the presenter NOT  the 5th grader.  So they are to applaud and not make noises that draw attention to their self.

Fall –Fundraiser --- a large envelope went home today.  50% of the sales go back to our school.  The word on the street is that the wrapping paper kicks butt.

Officer Gill --  spoke about skating and biking safety.  We have a DES alumnus that skateboarded without a helmet and almost had a tragic result when he landed on his skull.

Respect Attribute – we discussed what R.E.S.P.E.C.T. and what it means to me

Playground, lunch room and other school rules…….
