Wacky Wednesday

Homecoming Spirit at Hawthorne School!  I found these Wacky students in the hallway and lunchroom today! 

 

Hawthorne School Picnic

We had a great time at the Hawthorne School Picnic last evening.

Great pizza, great weather, and great families!  Thanks to all who participated!

The Detective Duo!

This morning, our students and staff attended our first Positive Behavior Assembly of the school year.  A special "detective duo" (Katie Nielsen, School Social Worker and Molly Neumann, Intervention Teacher) investigated Hawthorne School for positive ("Level 1") behaviors.

They found many examples (pictures of staff members demonstrating positive behaviors) and showed them on the screen.  The students saw Ms. Lizotte sitting "criss-cross applesauce, the K teachers walking down the hall, Mrs. Lange and Ms. Noack saying "please" and "thank you," Mr. Rassler going down the slide and several other examples!  In the next two weeks, I will have a Level 1 Lesson with every classroom at Hawthorne. 

Great way to start the week!

First Day Assembly

We are "Ready to Learn!" at Hawthorne School. Our specialist team, Mrs. Harves, Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Groth, and Mr. Clapp took the stage and taught students and staff the Hawthorne "Ready to Learn!" chant.  Every staff member introduced themselves to the students and we finished the assembly by dancing to the Cupid Shuffle.  It's great to have the students back!

Hey Hawthorne!

Hey what?

Hey Hawthorne!

Hey what?

 

Are you ready to learn? (clap, clap)

We are ready to learn!  (clap, clap)

 

We are ready, we are ready to learn!  (clap, clap)

We are ready, we are ready to learn!  (clap, clap)

Parent-Teacher Conferences at Hawthorne

Anna Roberts (music teacher), Andrea Harves (art teacher), and Jeff Groth (physical education teacher) joined me at the main entrance to welcome our students and parents yesterday and today.  What a great time we had greeting and visiting with our families.  Lots of smiles came through the door!  We weren't sure who was more excited...students or parents!!  Can't wait until Tuesday morning to begin our new school year.  See you at 8:10 a.m. on September 8, Hawthorne Students! We are going to have an AWESOME school year!

Ready to Learn!

Dear Hawthorne Students and Families,

Welcome to Hawthorne School!  I am so happy that you are here.  It’s going to be a great year.  I want you to know that our teachers and staff will do everything we can to help you have an excellent year of learning and growing. 

Our theme this year is “Ready to Learn!”  Each day we will prepare for learning with a great attitude.  Our staff will be prepared with the best learning environment and the best instructional practices in education.  We will get to know each of you and figure out how you learn best!

Parents, I thank you in advance for the great work you do at home, preparing your children for learning:  breakfast, a good night’s sleep, reading at home, conversations with your children, and fun family time. 

Our staff and I believe in EVERY student.  We will do everything it takes to help our students learn and grow at high levels.  We don’t give up on any child. I give you my promise that I will help you and your child in any way I can to help your child succeed.  If you have any concerns, always feel free to contact me.  I love Hawthorne School!  I hope you have a great 2015-2016 school year!
