Monday Minute – 3/2/2020
This week many schools are celebrating Read Across America! It’s a special time that some schools use to share the works of Dr. Seuss, which is how the school I am principal of and the local elementary school plan to celebrate. We have a theme for each day based on a book selected by the media specialist. As the principal, I get to dress up each day too. The students enjoy seeing their teachers and administrators be a part of the fun. I hope to read books to the classes this week too.
This year we are ending the week by dressing for our future careers and sharing the book, Oh the Places You’ll Go. This in turn is the kick off for our guidance counselor’s March theme of careers. It should be exciting to see what our students strive to be in the future. I enjoy seeing and talking with students about their future plans. At six, their plans may change but we, as educators, must encourage them to set goals and work to achieve those goals.
Part of being a leader is setting an example for staff and students in fun times and those that aren’t so much fun. Anytime students can see joy in reading, then I want to encourage and support that.
