The Final Friday Focus of 2021!!!

 

You read that right...this is the Final Friday Focus for 2021, because I won't have one for you next week. 

Great Things I Noticed this Week:

• Respectful dialogue as students worked in partners to provide writing feedback during their editing phase of their realistic fiction stories. 
• Our student crowd at basketball games (with both middle and high school students) has been filled with school spirit, pride and great cheering for our teams! Yes, there have been a few not making the greatest choices, but the majority have been incredible to represent Dodgeland!
• SO many food donations collected to benefit the foodbank. NHS students have done an incredible job of organizing this!
• Our student council went holiday shopping to provide Christmas gifts for families in need.
• Many of our students/staff showed up for two of our students in support them at the wake/funeral for their mother. We have such compassion in our Dodgeland family!  I also know that many of you are keeping a watchful eye for when the grief sets in and additional support is needed.

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:

*The HS IEB Document for next week can be found HERE. 

*From the Grinch: If you have Christmas or LED lights in your classroom, please unplug/shut them off before you leave for the day.  Custodians are noticing many of these left on, which could be a safety/fire hazard. 

*Please be ready to welcome students back after the holiday break. Think #Significant72 and remember that you'll need to review/rehearse procedures. If there was a bad classroom management issue percalating, now is the time for a restart!

*We are almost to the end of the semester (gasp, I know!). There will be an email soon on end of semester grading information.
