The De La Rosa Daily

Week of October 27th

Good News…

Sometimes the best parts of our days aren’t found in the big moments. They are hidden in the little ones. Little things such as crafting homecoming mums, smiles from our jaguars, small victories, and growth celebrations in our students and staff. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do. So always remember, the good things are often found in the little things, and those little things, together, create something truly great!

Capturing Kids’ Hearts Corner:

• Teacher Goal Setting: Remember to that you should have created a goal centered around CKH. Gather evidence of tracking that goal over the course of the year. This goal will be reviewed/discussed during your Summative Conference at the end of the year.
• As the year gets busier, and our calendar gets full, do not forget to implement the simple things of CKH (greeting at the door with a smile, good things, affirmations, using the social contract as a tool in your classroom, utilizing the four questions when needed, and launching your students at the end of the day). These things go a long way and can make a true difference!

Reminders/Announcements:

• 2nd Six Weeks Curriculum Feedback: As we end the second six weeks, we are seeking your feedback to continually improve our curriculum. Complete this Second Six Weeks Curriculum Feedback Form by November 7.
