Pre-service Training

     This whole week we spent at the community college reviewing all our policies and procedures. We have a major push to incorporate more exercise, healthy eating, and promoting healthy living with our I'm Moving, I'm Learning initiative. We will be required to do a minimum of 1 movement activity per day and they are making more healthy improvements in the food we serve our students. On Thursday, we had a big surprise when Kathie Dolgin (aka High Voltage) made a quick guest appearance to discuss the dangers of excessive sugar consumption. She was a spark that really lightened the room! I was so impressed I bought her book from Amazon and am going to her lecture on Sunday!
     I was over-joyed when I was told my Smart Board was repaired and would be in perfect working order! I have so many high hopes for a great school year this year. Last year at this time, I was just meeting my co-teacher, Reneé, and all my new coworkers and trying to orient myself to my new classroom and supplies. This year, I'm focusing more on all the details! Throughout the year there were many things that Reneé and I said we wanted to implement in the future, so that time is now!
     Next week will be busy with room decorating, classroom labeling, and planning for parent orientation!
