Attendance Awareness Month!!!

Students who achieved perfect attendance for the month of September are invited to a popsicle party outside by the basketball goals/new playground on Thursday, October 1^st at the following times:

8:40 – Purple Hall

9:00 – Red Hall

9:20 – Yellow Hall

9:40 – Blue Hall

10:00 – Green Hall

10:20 – Orange Hall

I will print a list this afternoon of all students who are invited to this party since I will not be here tomorrow.  If a student on the list is absent tomorrow, checks in, or checks out, please mark their name off the list.  If you have a student who says they have been here all month but is not on the list, send the student to the office and Kim or Danna will check on it for them.  Please remind students that perfect attendance means a student was at school on time with no check-ins or check-outs during the entire month of September.

We will not make an all-call so please write your time on the board, set a timer on your phone, or put a student in charge of it for you.

Thanks,

Acts of Kindness

This week, Mrs. Jackie Moore's Fifth Grade Class shows an "Act of Kindness" by writing thank you cards and notes to our veterans. The students are sending their notes and cards to the veterans at The Veteran's Nursing Home in Pell City.

Greater Birmingham Math Partnership with Paine Elementary (3-5) Studio Day

The Greater Birmingham Math Partnerhsip paired with our teachers, Mrs. Lothspiech, Mrs. Walls and Mrs. Bruno to plan professional development for all of our Math teachers in the format of Studio Day. This was an onsite, job-embedded professional development day where all math teachers came together for a full day of vertical grade level training. 

The objectives for the day were to provide opportunities to recognize and enhance cognitive demand of tasks and lessons and integrate that knowledge into our teaching practice; and to enact Studio Day in Lesson Study Format.

The studio purposes were to:

1.  Bring the Standards for Mathematical Practice to life (real-time).

2. Increase accountability and level/quality of implementation.

3. Develop shared images and understandings.

4. Deepen teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching.

5. Foster new norms and habits of practice.

6. De-privatize practice to build professional community and increase all students achievement.

It was a wonderful day of learning for all of our teachers; and we are so thankful for Mrs. Walls being extrememly comfortable 24+ people coming in at one time to observe her teaching!

Farm School

Our GaTE students made it to Farm School at Camp McDowell.

One Key to Success No Matter Your Age!

The deck was certainly stacked against him. He grew up in dire poverty, raised by a single mom in Detroit, Michigan. Success wasn’t even on the radar.

I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Carson a few years ago. And he told me one thing turned it all around for him: reading. What follows is not an endorsement of his candidacy, but it is a chance to talk about something transformative that can affect anyone who follows Carson’s example. How did he do it?

Club Day

Club Day was a huge success on yesterday!! Thank you to our Counselor Mrs. Blake for organizing the day and ensuring that all students had the opportunity to experience clubs! Club Day typically takes place twice a month (depending on the schedule). 

Teachers were engaged in professional development while students were away at clubs. The professional development focus yesterday was on student data.

Students Enjoying Club Day!!!
