Good afternoon everyone, I hope this post finds you well!  Just a little bit of information for this coming week.

This morning, (Monday, the 12th) it was around 60 degrees with a 20 percent chance of rain in our area.  The next few mornings are looking pretty similar, maybe just a bit colder.  We probably won’t be outside Monday or Tuesday morning, so we will have our physical activity for those days in the gym, but that’s subject to change.  Our location will still be posted by the iPad.

This week’s theme is integrity, which is defined as the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.  In other words, doing the right thing when no one is looking.  I think this is a good lesson for us as we head into our third week of school as we still learn about each other and respect our individual needs and boundaries.

We will put this into practice by respecting our toys, equipment, and environment by using them as intended and being mindful of whether we are being considerate towards our peers with their use.  We’ve had some troubles with throwing toys and snatching from others, so I’m hopeful that this week may show the kids why we don’t behave this way.

Finally, I will not be here Tuesday (the 13th) in the afternoon. I will not be here the following morning on Wednesday, the 14th, either. I will be back that afternoon though. If you need to contact me and I’m not at the school, my email is greimel@dearbornschools.org, which is always available and I check it multiple times a day.
