Today I began having my rules/discipline assemblies with the students. I feel it is important to start the year out with clear expectations for student behavior. When the students hear the same message, it helps with consistency of expectations. Today I discussed rules with the kindergartners, 1st and 2nd graders, and the 3rd and 4th graders. I've discovered younger students sometimes have a difficult time knowing the difference between asking questions, and telling their life stories. Tomorrow I will have discussions with the 5th and 6th and then the 7th and 8th graders.
Today I was pleased to see our FFEE board meeting in the staff room. If you are unaware of FFEE, it is the Foundation For Educational Excellence, and they work to supply teachers with needed supplies and funds. They will be sending out a welcome/recruiting letter soon, and if you are interested in joining this worthwhile group that is dedicated to helping our students, please keep you eyes open for that information.
On a personal note, this weekend my mom came to visit and we went to Lupita's Restaurant here in Twain Harte for lunch on Saturday. If you have not been there yet, I recommend it highly. The food is excellent!
