Without love, do you have grit?
Without love, do you have grit?
We've discovered a quote from author Jon Gordon (The Energy Bus). It has made us reframe our thinking when it comes to grit because this statement rings true. If kids don't love what they're doing, they won't put the effort to become great at it...and you can't force love. Students may feel okay about a subject (such as writing), so they won't show that grit...they won't show that extra effort to keep trying and trying until they master it. This has led us to think of questions such as "What can we do to make students have that love for certain subjects?" "What if they don't develop that love?"
4th Grade Field Trip
4th Grade Field Trip
On Tuesday February 3rd, we will be headed to the Fort Worth Stock Show for our field trip! Our tour begins at 10:00am so we will depart Glenhope around 9:15am and return about 2:00pm. Please make sure that your child wears their field trip t-shirt (light blue with gator), brings a completely disposable lunch and wears comfortable shoes. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Baby Pictures Needed
Baby Pictures Needed
We have a Valentines Party Activity called "Guess That Baby" where students will get to see baby pictures of their classmates and they try to guess who it is. We need your help by sending in a cute digital baby picture. Pictures where your child is between the ages of 6 months-2 years work great. We will display the baby pictures in a slideshow during our Valentines Party on Friday February 13th. Please email the picture to your child's homeroom teacher by Friday February 6th. Thank you in advance for your help!
Charging Chromebooks
Charging Chromebooks
Please help us by reminding students to charge their Chromebooks each night. It is very important that their Chromebooks come to school fully charged each morning. We use these for classwork daily as well as taking tests. When Chromebooks are not charged, it becomes a disruption to student learning for the day. We appreciate your help with this!
It would also be helpful if students brought their charger with them to school to help when Chromebook batteries run low in the afternoon.
