This was the image that popped up when I put in my search for the family blog and I feel like you deserve the same image. This scene puts a smile on my face every time!! The search was 'try to keep up' because we all know this time of year is crazy. I knew it was crazy, but somehow I feel like I wasn't prepared. Ha!! 

This week we have our big push for the Move a Thon donations! If you follow Westbrook PTC or Westbrook on Instagram, there is a fundraiser link you can share on your own Instagram. We are hoping to make this fundraiser a HUGE success!! 

There are so many things happening this week that I am going to try to keep the blog simple but also include as much information as possible. I also ask that you check out the family blog post as well. There is a lot of information in it this week. 

All Week: Book Fair

Online Book Fair Access

Volunteer Sign Up

Monday: Solar Eclipse

In regard to the day of the eclipse, the eclipse begins around 10:14am, the peak is at 11:13am, and it ends about 12:16pm. 
You should have received glasses for your class and yourself. 

Here is the plan:
1) Students should wear the glasses whenever they are outside the classroom. Time outside the classroom should be kept to a minimum. 
2) All recesses will be inside.
3) 11:05 AM- Any class that wants to look at the eclipse will walk out to the blacktop just like we do for a fire drill. Everyone will have their glasses on the entire time. By the time everyone is on the blacktop, it will be close to the peak. After viewing the eclipse, classes will return to the classroom. 

Tuesday: MoJoe's Scoop Night from 5-9pm

  Happy Sunday! This week we have our first assembly recognizing our Resilient students. I cannot how happy it makes me to hear students talking about what it means to be resilient. This is such an important trait I hope to grow in our students at Westbrook. All of you are the perfect examples to lead the way as you have demonstrated such resilience in the opening of Westbrook. Another thank you to all of you! The Assembly will start around 10:10am. Some grade levels will be coming straight from recess. Let me know if you have questions about the process of the assembly. I know it will be new for most of you. I will have the certificates in your boxes tomorrow.  Keep an eye out for SWIS updates and information this week.  Volunteer Update:  Jason Perrone, our resident cheerleader, put a sign up in the staff room for him to come in and read to your class with the intention of having you leave the room and get a break. He does not have a slot for everyone on this first...

This is what I put in the family blog but I want to share it with you, as well!  Happy Sunday and Congrats to all of my Niners Fans out there! I am bummed we did not pull of the upset but it was a great game. The Packers made some big mistakes at the wrong time, but that goes to show you, we all make mistakes even if we are paid an astronomical amount of money😂 I have to say, I loved so much of the game. I loved (and hated) how close it was. I loved the history of Shanahan and LaFleur. I also enjoyed hearing how the coaches trusted their young quarterbacks. It was a good one and that is all I have to say!  Staff Potluck on Wednesday, 1/24:   This Wednesday's staff potluck is breakfast for lunch! Check the sign up here: January Potluck 100th Day of School: This Friday, 1/26, is the 100th Day of School and we are 100 Days Brighter! Wear your neon. Dig into that 80's/90's bin I know you have just waiting for dress up days and theme parties!  Our Resilient Assembly is ...

  Happy Sunday! I had to start the blog off with this quote because people with a positive outlook can achieve incredible things and when positive people find positive people the potential is immeasurable. This is the way I feel working with you each day! For example, I started a teacher group text and was a bit nervous. In my experience, a group message can sometimes provide an opportunity for negativity to seep in. Well, my heart is so full with the positivity in our group so far. And thank you Tracy for ripple message. It is so true. We continue to do great things and can only hope that inspires other schools!  We will be adding a lot of new teachers next year and need to keep this at the forefront! Always remember, this is how we do things at Westbrook and that is our expectation!  Speaking if positivity!!! A HUGE congratulations to Rori as our Assistant Principal next year. We are so fortunate! Rori is a wealth of information to support instructional practices and ou...
