It took some time to coordinate things, but I am happy to report we now have the ABC song on our server. To access it, click on Song. There are two other songs focusing on letters and sounds you might want to use as well. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Augustine for sharing her CD with us and to Jeff for posting it on our server.

Please take a moment to think about some of the ways Special Programs teachers can be recognized. The teachers are earning stars for things like taking attendance on time, submitting grades as specified, etc. and those tasks do not apply to us. What are some ways that we can earn stars? Please post under Discussions or email me directly. Also, I have received the $20 or $15 for paraprofessionals contribution (not dues) from a couple of members of our team but am still collecting. The "flower fund" is used to send flowers to those who experience deaths in their immediate family, births, and hospital stays. These funds are also used for faculty gatherings, snacks and teacher appreciation activities. Please consider giving - we ALL benefit!

We will have snacks at staff meetings courtesy of each grade level (instead of Morning Munchies). The schedule for the year is:
1st Grade – September 2nd Grade – October 3rd Grade – November 4th Grade – January 5th Grade – February Office Staff/Coaches – March Activity – April Administrators – May

== Thank you, team, for all of your help with monitoring our students during the Ronald McDonald presentation today. Your efforts made it possible for everyone to enjoy the show. A special shout out to Kim and Jeff for being such good sports on stage! ==

Just a few updates to share.

 * 1) I have a couple of boxes of tissues for conference classes, READ 180, Math Intervention Lab and Special Ed. 1st grade and a third grade class generously donated.
 * 2) Flower Fund payments are being accepted at this time. $20 for teachers and $15 for Paraprofessionals. You may bring me cash or check and I will be turning it in for our team.
 * 3) Please send any topics that need to be discussed at the upcoming Team Leader meeting. How are afternoon duties working? Anything we need to iron out?
 * 4) Member info still not updated by everyone. Please take care of it!

Good morning team,
===Just in case you did not write down the roles for our PLCs her they are: Leader-Jackson, Time Keeper-Sanchez, Recorder-Kemmerling, Process Observer-Haas, and Data Organizer(s)-Schultz and Clark. I encourage you this week to check with your teachers whom you cover for and give them a recurring day, each week, by which you would like to receive your lesson plans. This will hel ensure that you receive them in enough time and also they will know what your expectation is as well.===

===Please be sure to check back periodically because I will be posting a question on the discussion board for your consideration this week, since we probably will not have PLC this Friday. Have a great week!===
