3 Days!

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! We may have only had three days of school this week, but they were busy ones! Our students continued their Math Month activities as they focused on Geometry. I joined all the elementary principals and literacy coaches on an all day workshop on "student-centered coaching", and of course we recognized students who earned green tickets by letting them announce their names on the intercom during morning announcements on Friday. Things never slow down at an elementary school and I think that's why I love Buchanan so much!

#BuchananBears

Did you know that every Friday, one student from each class gets to come to the office and announce their name and classroom after the morning announcements? Every time a student is caught following our "3 to be" they get a green ticket.  Those tickets go into a jar and one person is drawn each week.  It's just another way to recognize our amazing students. Great things are happening at Buchanan!
