Happy Friday to the most amazing staff in the entire world - working with you each day is an honor that I never imagined I would experience in my professional world - THANK YOU! I also want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as they relate to Paul's surgery today. Although this is Paul's 7th surgery in the last three years, it never gets easier and the fear/anxiety/etc. that consume our family can be overwhelming but being surrounded by an incredibly supportive family and extended family (that includes all of you) makes the whole experience much more bearable. I am not sure how long I will be out but as soon as we have a sense of how Paul is doing I will definitely update all of you via email! Thank you again for your support - it is so much easier to be out of the building on days like today because I know the school is in all of your capable hands - THANK YOU!
Just so you know, in regards to next week, I will likely be out for a couple of days depending on how Paul is doing - I will be in touch via email!

Please note that this Fast Friday Focus will cover the next two weeks so please hold on to it for the schedule of the weeks!
Over the last week, as I walked around the building, I spotted these awesome things...
- Mandy's class was beginning to explore shape poems and they started with a SHARK! They came up with such awesome words and phrases to describe the shark and they were so excited to get started with their own shape poems! Love how their skills evolve over the years but the foundation is a solid one in Kindergarten!
- Jill's kids were so engaged during independent reading time where they were building their stamina. The children were reading books from their book baggies and after conferring with three of the students, I was really impressed by their fluency, ability to access background knowledge and identify patterns in the text - AWESOME work!
- Adam's class during independent reading time was equally as impressive. The children immediately got into their reading spots while Adam pulled a small guided reading group and everyone was reading "just right" books- BRAVO!!

While talking to the 4th and 5th Graders about their Digital "Footprints" I used my tweeting as an example to which one of them said, "My Mom said you should win an award for the most tweets ever!" LOL! Backhanded compliment? LOL!
