PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: Due to playoff football on Thursday, October 24th, there is a chance that we may change the schedule. One idea is to end conferences earlier on Thursday and reschedule the afternoon/evening portion for another day. Please stay tuned. We'll send out a notification as soon as possible.
We had 3 third grade boys earn RARE awards at the end of the day yesterday. Their parents were called and they were awarded their RARE bracelets today. The first young man is quick to say thank you when anything is passed out in class. The second, is very thoughtful of others and loves to help out his classmates. The third young man is prepared for class each day, gets his planner signed consistently, and works hard to reach his goals. These 3 are amazing young students!

These 2 young men earned RARE awards yesterday. They are both 1st grade students. Mrs. Joedeman recognizes the RARE qualities in the 1st young man. He was carrying his mom's things up the stairs for her and took a tumble, which resulted in coffee spilling all over the landing. He then worked hard to clean up the mess. He said it was his fault and he needed to clean it up. He was wonderfully Accountable! The 2nd young man earned his award for being Empathetic. Mrs. Klosen chose him for the award because he helped another student pick up the things she dropped and was very kind to her.
This young man received the RARE award for Accountability. He uses his class time wisely to complete his tasks. It is so great to see his smile each morning.
Reminder: The great book swap is happening at Stapleton Public Schools tomorrow during the JV Volleyball game. Bring a book to donate and receive free admission the game! Or bring a book to swap out with one we currently have. See flyer for details!
This young lady is our first RARE award earner of the week. She earned this award for being Empathetic. She helped another student organize his notebook and encouraged him to put his papers in his notebook when they are given to him so it remains neat. It is so nice to see the students help each other.
We had a RARE award last week that did not get posted. This young man is very responsible and does his homework and classwork. He is also nice to his peers. Congratulations!

FYI for those of you going to the game in Arcadia tonight:
Phyical science students are learning about velocity, acceleration, and forces. Yesterday we took a moment to better understand the constant force of friction and how it effects acceleration or velocity. Students tested multiple surfaces and the amont of force influenced by these surfaces.
Biology students are entering the world of the very small. Today students worked to move through several cell satations: microscope identification of plant and animal cells, identification of organells using models, understanding mitochondrial disorders, and creating their own story about a cell as if it were a city.

One more Rare award today. This award is this young man's 3rd award. He is doing an amazing job this year. He earned it for being empathetic. He helped a classmate after he fell down playing soccer. He checked on the soccer player and helped him up. What a kind young man.
I handed out a RARE award at lunch today. Another adult observed this young man in the lunch line. Another student pushed his way in front of him. He was angry but he kept his cool and did not retaliate. That took a lot of self-control and responsibility. When I was told about this incident, I was very impressed.
