News from Steve
Dear Copper Mesa Community,
Well, is it going to be the same old Broncos this season?? I had high hopes for their first game against the Raiders, only to be disappointed!! Maybe this weekend!!
Our Thinking Map for next week is: Brace Map (Part/Whole relationship)
Our PRIDE Skill next week is: Communication
This week I will mention the following:
-
CMEA
-
Outdoor Ed
-
Color Run/Picture
-
SAC Mtg
CMEA
On Tuesday evening CMEA held its first meeting of the year and the main agenda item was to chat about staff grants. I don’t want to say too much as I would assume CMEA will discuss it in their blast, but wow, we have an amazing community and CMEA. Many field trips were approved, as well as classroom materials, and sensory items for our special education staff and we are looking at adding sports netting around our turf as several balls a day go over the wood fence. These are just a few of the items that were approved. This wouldn’t be possible without your kindness!!
OUTDOOR ED
So many events warmed my heart these last several days while our sixth graders were attending Outdoor Ed in Larkspur. On the last morning, I overheard a student say that he didn’t want to go home as he was having so much fun. I saw our boys congratulate a student for holding the longest plank while in their cabin. The director shared that our group of students was amazing! I observed students overcome their fear by tackling the ropes course. New friendships were formed, many high fives were given and laughter abounded the evening of the campfire. This is an event that our sixth graders will never forget!!
COLOR RUN/SCHOOL PICTURE
With the rain coming in we are going to postpone our Color Run until Monday afternoon. Ms. Laviaguerre and I are looking forward to running through all of our students as they splash us with some color. However, we will still have our school picture on Friday afternoon (weather permitting), so we are asking that all students wear their new green CME shirts.
SAC MTG
We also have our first SAC meeting of the year, next Monday from 4:00-6:00 pm in our library. These meetings are always open to everyone. Thank you for taking the time to vote for our new members. We will be looking at our school CMAS and iReady data as well as discussing several other agenda items.
Enjoy the upcoming beautiful weekend!!
Steve
