D114 Daily Vitamin: April 29, 2020

Today's Updates:

Awesome Work!

Today, I got to see/be a part of...

Karen Brnot and Janette Jennings invited me to join the live 7th grade Science lesson, and it was SO FUN!!!! Karen's management of such a big group was fabulous and we learned a TON about adaptations through slides of student work and another set of content information. Each student was greeted, etiquette was reviewed, the comments were monitored for discussion (and for redirection one time), and the all the plates were spinning beautifully. WOWOWOW!!!!

5th grade hosted a viewing party of Bridge to Terabithia for the entire grade and A TON of students joined!!! They just finished the novel, so this was a cool way to celebrate!

The 2nd grade team meeting had 16 people in it and was so purposeful--including big picture planning, thoughtful reflection on ways to continue to improve, collaboration to help each other, and problem solving for a single student with organized and helpful input from all the players the whole time.

These types of super fantastic work is happening all over D114 every day! You are so fabulous, I just can't stand it!!!

Family Survey

I got a great question today about the survey--yes, I'll share the data with you, and I'll do my very best to organize it so everyone has all the data at the comment level. This will probably look like a ginormous spreadsheet sorted by family name, then big picture data charts to sum it up. I'm working on that tomorrow to send to you ASAP. :)

If you're willing to help with Grab and Go or Choice Menu Mailings, please add your name in this document.

If you'd like to do a read aloud to share with everyone, please add your name here.

This is open to EVERYONE, and I know the kids would love to see faces from both buildings, from the Kitchens, from the Buses...they miss you ALL!

ABC COUNTDOWN

Thank you, Amanda Lorenz! 💗

Reminders:

Grab and Go

We continue to distribute on Monday and Thursday mornings ONLY from 7:30-10:00 at Stanton. You can grab "3 for Me" and everything else you need but we also limit how many staff members need to come in and how often we are asking families to come to school. Social distancing is KEY to us getting back to normal!

Building Access

When you come into the buildings to get stuff, please be sure to turn off your lights and shut your door when leaving. Helps us save on energy. THANK YOU!

All superintendents have been asked by the Lake County Health Department to make sure the following are in place for all staff who come onsite:

No one can come to work who is sick and/or has a temperature at or above 100.4.
Staff must take their temperatures at home.
If you don't have a thermometer at home, let the administrator on site know and we'll take your temperature for you.
All staff should wear gloves and masks when onsite and handling materials that will be sent home to families.
