I'm pretty sure I don't even have to say that DECEMBER is a crazy month. It is filled with excitement, hustle, and bustle! However, it can also be filled with fear, anxiety, and uncertainty for some of our students and their families. I encourage you to be there for your students and keep them on task and engaged. Schedules can get wonky at times, and for most kids, it's okay, but for some, it can really derail them. Staying on your normal schedule as much as possible is essential to maximizing learning until the final day of the semester.
Thank you to PTO and all of our volunteers who made our Winter Festival a success. It is always fun to engage with families in a joyful atmosphere. ⛄
Data chats are coming up following MAP testing on January 7th. Please us THIS form to organize your data, and you will also use it in your mid-year TKES conference. Please have the entire form completed PRIOR to data chats and mid-year conferences. Mid-year conference schedule coming soon!
Your feedback is valuable to us! Please complete the following surveys by Sunday, December 14th.
Please let me know if you need anything! I appreciate you! 💚❤️

Please think twice before replacing your authentic read aloud text with a story being read on YouTube --"The science of reading says that before students have mastered word recognition skills, their language comprehension instruction occurs primarily through the teacher read aloud from complex texts and facilitating discussion."

Winter Weather
PLEASE, Please, please: as it gets colder, if you see a child without a winter coat or in need of a new one, please let me know. The amazing church Hopewell Methodist donated coats, shoes, and more for our kids! Even if the child says they don't need one, I will call home and verify that!
Christmas Support
In Hall County, they do Christmas assistance for families through Hall County Christmas Collaborative. We had over 100 families sign up for services! YAY! We have some families not paired up with a donor just yet.
If you are interested in being a donor for a family, please email me and I will get you in contact with the correct person!

Every day our multilingual learners take brave steps, big and small, toward expressing themselves. And the truth is, they grow the most when they feel safe, seen, and supported.
In our classrooms, encouragement isn’t extra… it’s essential.
It sounds like:
💬 “Tell me more.”
💬 “You can do it.”
💬 “Nice job!”
💬 “I’m proud of you.”
When we celebrate progress (not perfection), students lean in, take risks, and stretch their language skills. 💛
