This week at our Student Lighthouse Team meeting, I had students share some of their favorite things about CCES and I wanted to share those responses with you. So here is what makes the top of the list with students currently:
-One School One Book and all the activities that go with it (trivia and dress-up days were mentioned several times)
-Pods/Houses
-Panther Time
-Beta
-Spinning the wheel at morning assembly
They also had to tell me things that needed to improve here at CCES:
-bullying occasionally but students treating each other with respect seems to be a problem
-too much trash on the playground
-bathrooms not being taken care of by students
So - here are some ideas of ways we can improve.
1. Please use leadership time to continually talk about treating others with respect and standing up to bullying.
2. Have each grade level take a couple of minutes to clean up the playground each day before they leave. If the trashcans need changing out there - please let the office now and we will get them changed.
3. We will look into starting the Bathroom Challenge again soon.
-----------UPCOMING HOUSE EVENTS----------
-Our next House/Pod meeting will be on Halloween day. We will meet at our regular morning locations for breakfast and our activities will focus on learning all about LOYALTY. We will have those activities ready this week and share them with you. If you want to bring Halloween treats for your pod - that is fine too.
-For Christmas - each house is going to have a House Tree to decorate. We need some trees (at least 6 ft tall ) and Christmas decorations if you have any you would like to donate. Please just let me know if you have any of those things.
*There will not be 21st Century classes this week. Please make sure your students know what their afternoon plans are.
**If you have not finished administering the 2nd round of STAR testing, please do so at the beginning of this week. We are planning on having our WIG celebration (fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and free time) on Wednesday if everyone is finished.
