This week in pictures 1/3 - 1/6

Happy New Year!

One of my many New Year’s resolutions is to capture Birch Meadow in pictures. My goal is to take a picture a day of Birch Meadow. The picture may be of teachers, students, observations, or excitement which I would like to share. At the end of the week I will post the pictures to my blog. This project provides me an opportunity to celebrate Birch Meadow in a new way and share special memories of our school. Here are the pictures from my first week.
Here are the pictures from my first week.


1/3 - The first day back from vacation a new student eats with supportive friends at Birch Meadow

1/4 The Birch Tree outside the library displays "friendship" bears. Each bear explains how Birch Meadow students have shown the character trait of friendship this month.

1/5 Our 4th grade teachers meet to discuss student success, curriculum consistency, and assessment data. Every day at Birch Meadow teachers informally share ideas and discuss student learning. This formal structured meeting (with the principal, reading specialist, and learning center)happens for each grade level every 6 weeks.

1/6 Birch Meadow is fortunate to have two 4th grade students from Korea. They are staying with a host family and spending each day in 4th grade from (1/6 - 2/18). Birch Meadow students were excited to meet these new friends.
