Yealey Families,

I hope you've had a great week at home.  We've had a great week here.  The NKU dance troupe came and held a demonstration for our 4th and 5th graders that they really enjoyed.  The 4th graders spent today at the Zoo and had an amazing trip.  I love the pictures I have seen from their adventures!

I had the pleasure of having a second grade student read a book to me that he wrote.  I worked with some 5th graders on math problems and listened to a group discuss a text they were analyzing.  I love getting time with the students while they are learning!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  I will be experiencing homecoming as the mother of a daughter for the first time.  I have a feeling there will be a lot more prep time invested than I'm used to as a mother of boys.

See you next week,

Hi Yealey Families,

I hope you've all had a great week at home.  It's been amazing here.  We had lots of guests throughout the week.  Thank you to all the Yealey Ladies who were able to come in for doughnuts on Tuesday and Wednesday to start the day with their special child.  I know that means a lot to the children.  We had a total of 703 people attend over the two days!  That's an incredible turn out!  Thank you also to the PTA board and volunteers who were here late each night and early each morning getting everything organized.  The Title 1 information that was shared at the meeting is on our website if you are interested and here are the links to the two videos that were shown:  Moms are Special video and Pumpkin Fundraiser video .

We also hosted our Leader In Me Coach as she trained people to become coaches. They used our building as a learning lab.  It was a very positive experience and they were very complimentary of our school, the progress we've made with the 7 habits, and your kids! They were impressed with their manners and behavior as well as their progress with the habits.  I hope that you've all seen the invite to participate in the Family Challenge that has been posted on our social media.  If you'd like to participate please complete this sign up form.  We are taking up to 20 families and have about half the slots filled.  I am planning on completing it with my family - I'll keep you posted on our progress!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  See you next week!

Yealey Families,

I hope you've had a great week at home and been able to stay cool.  This heat wave is unexpected but personally I love it!

We have been very busy at school and hopefully you've been able to follow along with some of the fun learning through our social media accounts.  We have fourth graders who "escaped" their classroom by showing some awesome problem solving and collaboration.  Third graders have started tackling the concept of multiplication. I have challenged them to try to use some of their reading skills to help them figure out some difficult concepts by looking at vocabulary and reading the explanations in their books. 

We have a pumpkin fundraiser coming up through the PTA.  Be sure to look for information coming home about that.  PTA will again be sponsoring our Fall Festival and will continue to make this a free event for families to come and enjoy each other's company and have some fun.  Fundraisers like this help us to continue these awesome Yealey traditions.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi Yealey Families,

It has been an awesome week at Yealey.  I have loved being in classrooms this week seeing students learn about place value, practice their writing skills, and coding/creating video games.  This week we started our school wide jobs and it's been awesome to see students stepping up and taking care of things around the building.

We have been focusing on reviewing the 7 habits this year and are going to focus on Habit 1 this month - Be Proactive.  Please take time to review this with your children - ask them about the habits.  Find out when they think they could be used at home.  I hope that your children will be able to show you all kinds of ways to show the habits.

Also, a friendly reminder from our financial secretary to please send in fee money with your child or in the mail as soon as possible please.  These fees are used to cover the cost of workbooks and classroom supplies.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Enjoy the beautiful weather!
