MESSAGE
Dear Families,
By now, you have probably heard about MVWSD’s recommendation to continue with full distance learning and revisit in January a specific reopening date for in-person learning. (See Dr. Rudolph’s Reopening Update Letter October 2, 2020.) Although that means we’ll have to wait a little longer until we can get our Bubb cubs back on campus, it allows us to keep students and teachers together in their classroom communities, and gives us the opportunity to focus on improving the quality of distance learning. Our teacher professional development so far has focused on the rollout of distance learning (technology, small group instruction, checking for understanding, and peer to peer interactions in a virtual classroom) and the logistics of Blended learning (safety protocols in face to face school, scheduling students, managing at home learners while instructing in-person learners and maintaining social distance). This week, we started a professional development series on increasing student engagement, inspired by a book that all Bubb teachers read over the summer, The Power of Moments by Chip and Dan Heath. The premise of the book is that our memories are formed by what the authors call “peak moments.” Be on the lookout as we create peak moments for our learners during virtual school!
Here are some ways to stay involved with what’s happening at Bubb:
*Continue to read the Bubb Bulletin. Follow us on our school Facebook page.
*Community meeting for Bubb and Huff about Fences and Perimeter Controls 10/8 @ 3:30. Register for the meeting here. Feel free to let your neighbors without Bubb students know about the meeting as well.
*Join me for my next Principal’s Check in on 10/15 @ 4:00pm. I will not have a formal presentation, but I would love to hear from you about what is working well with distance learning to inform our continuous improvement. I can also answer your questions as well. Register for the check in here.
*Members of the public are always welcome at our School Site Council (SSC) or English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) meetings. ELAC meets next on 10/8 @ 4:30, where we will discuss reclassification, ELPAC testing, and MVWSD’s Strategic Plan 2027. More information about SSC and ELAC can be found here.
Some final reminders from our School Dashboard:
- Friday 10/9 is Stuffed Animal Day and 10/16 is Favorite Book Day!
- October’s Problem of the Month: The Wheel Shop. Try as many problems as you can. Turn it in for a prize!
- It’s Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month. Check out this resource to learn more!
- Check out the Bubb School Summer Skills show! Our Bubb Cubs are so talented!
- Growth Mindset Mantra of the month: My Brain is Like a Muscle That Grows! “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” - Albert Einstein
- Remember that all students can get free meals during Distance Learning! Come to the MUR during lunch break 11:30-12:30 to pick up a grab and go lunch and breakfast.
Your feedback and thoughts are always appreciated. Have a wonderful week!
