Important Reminders and Updates
Texan Town

Thank you to those of you who have gone in and filled out the Google Doc for Clubs/Jobs for this year!  If you have not had an opportunity, please make sure you do so!  We will talk about finalizing jobs/clubs this week as a short part of our TLC meeting!




Remember we need to have as many clubs as possible, so there will be very limited clubs that have two people helping to facilitate.  If you do have an idea for a club with someone, you will have to have to be able to take at least 20-25 kiddos for the club.

Educator Goals
 Remember to please make sure you are thinking about your goals for this year and working on getting those entered into Eduphoria by September 25th.  You should have received a calendar invite from Brett for your meeting!

If you would like to discuss before you enter your goals to brainstorm, please let me or Brett know and we would be happy to meet with you! 

Book Fair 
Please help to remind our kiddos that they need to leave their backpacks neatly stacked in the halls instead of taking anything into the book fair when they shop.  You may want to do a reminder about how the book fair is like shopping in a store and we would never want to damage or take anything that is not our property.

Way to celebrate in the classroom, Acts of Kindness. . .
 Giving compliments to others or creating a way to document the kindness happening each day!

Final Quotes  
 Remember the importance of bringing kindness to the world.  It is easy to get frustrated with day to day happenings, but remember to always try to bring it back to why we do what we do as educators and how we can teach our kids the importance of being kind to others.
