Hello Gators!
What a colorful week we've had in specials!
This week in Spanish, its was a continued review of their COLORES for K-1 as they prepare for their assesments. For 2, 3rd and 5th it was Cuatro Rincones while 4th grade worked on conjugating verbs.
This week in Creativity class, students began their transition into spring with the creatition of painted paper for our collaborative hallway trees in k and second grade. 1st grade grade made shamrocks to help deocarte our reading wall as a special request by our librarian Mrs. Lewis. 3rd grade created colorful rainbow gardens complete with tissue paper flowers. 4th grade began their shambrock/rainbow composits while 5th grade explored shadows with their flowers in a vase work.
In PE, K-1 their tug of war skills. 2nd-5th grade worked on their hoola hoop relay race, teamwork makes the dream work! They also made sure to flex those mustles in their own tug of war matches to round out our week.
T-minus 8 weeks until Track and Field Day!

Keys Of Excellence
Live in INTEGRITY Conduct yourself with authenticity, sincerity and wholeness that results when your values and behavior are aligned.
Acknowledge FAILURE LEADS TO SUCCESS Understand that failures simply provide us with the information we need so we can succeed. There are no failures, only outcomes and feedback. Everything can be useful if we know how to view it.
SPEAK WITH GOOD PURPOSE Speak in a positive sense with good intent, being responsible for honest and direct communication. Avoid gossip and harmful communication.
Live in the Now - THIS IS IT! Focus your attention on the present moment. Each moment counts. Give each task your best effort.
Affirm your COMMITMENT Follow through on your promises and obligations; live your vision. Do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Take OWNERSHIP Take responsibility and be accountable for your actions. Be someone who can be counted upon, someone who responds.
Stay FLEXIBLE Be open to change or a new approach when it helps you get the outcome you desire.
Keep your BALANCE Keep your mind, body, and spirit in alignment. Balance self, work, and family.
