The School Board will be visiting all the schools Monday.  They will visit Cahaba 9:00-9:45.  My theme for the morning is "Cahaba develops student Leaders".  Members of our EnRICh experience, "The Voice" will present in the Curiosity Cave with members of the HTHS Leadership class.  We'll move down the hall to Mrs. McIntosh's room where they will hear all about "Cahaba Mentors" and our CES Dogs.  Mrs. Latham and Mrs. Pennington are collaborating with Mrs. McIntosh on this presentation. Before they leave, we'll go back to the library and hear from a couple of students who participated in "Trussville 360".  I don't expect to go to the back hall at all.

Expect  guest around all week.  The team completing our Vulnerability Study will be all around, inside and out.  We will also have Chad Summers and Marc Ward taking video around campus!  Look for a Cahaba Visitor Sticker or a TCS badge.  If you aren't sure about someone, never hesitate to text Officer Antonio, me or anyone in the office.

 

Thank you for supporting my AR Challenge.

All Kindergarten - Second Grade Classes met their "words read" Goal!
Pennington, McDonald and Johnson also earned a sweet treat for being the Top Class in their grade.

Third Grade had 71% meet the Challenge
Fourth Grade had 59% meet the Challenge
Fifth Grade had 56% meet the Challenge

I'll call out the names of the Top 10 students in grades 3-5 tomorrow morning.  I'll get a schedule to you for Thursday's Reward ASAP!

Everything you need for Monday





Everything you need for Tuesday - Friday




Reminders.........
- We are testing on the front hall ALL DAY.  Please do your best to avoid taking your class down the hall between the library and the Art Room

- If you choose recess on the playground - Students and balls must stay away from the windows on the front hall

- No more than 2 classes on the little playground and 3 on the big playground 

- You may choose to use the track for recess. If you do, please let me and Officer Antonio know.

- If you can, it would make a tremendous difference in your morning and the morning of you students, if you would plan to be at school a little earlier. Start the day right ❤




The PTO will have snacks in the workroom for you this week.  Food always helps!
