-The final Principal's Corner of 2024, maybe Mr. Cameron will carry on the tradition. If so, put me on the mailing list. Start pressuring him early;)

CEL to Ponder:
Criterion 4: Providing a clear and intentional focus on subject matter content and curriculum.
P3 Design of performance task
Performance tasks require a demonstration of thinking connected to the learning target and the application of discipline-specific concepts or skills. Students can use prior learnings/understandings to engage in new performance tasks.
A Little Humor:
Q: What school do kids like to go to during the summer?
A: Sundae school – because of all the ice cream!
Q: How is a teacher’s summer vacation like someone closing their eyes?
A: There
aren’t any pupils to see.
Q: Why
didn’t the school basketball player go away for summer vacation?
A: He
didn’t want to get called for traveling
Q. What did the student say when his teacher handed him his final report card of the year?
A: Do you want me to sign it now or later?
Q. Why did the teacher scold her student all year long for something he
didn’t do?
A: It was his homework that he
didn’t do!
-Chuck Norris doesn't take a summer break; summer breaks to make time for him!
-Chuck Norris vs. Tye Churchwell? Well, Chuck Norris doesn't compete; he just declares Tye Churchwell the winner and takes him out for a friendly round of lemonade.
-Chuck Norris vs. Sarah Hathaway? When they face off, the universe decides it's too much awesomeness in one place and schedules a holiday just to celebrate their epic encounter!
Reflection:
Robert Waldinger: What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness
What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it's fame and money, you're not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, you're mistaken. As the director of a 75-year-old study on adult development, Waldinger has unprecedented access to data on true happiness and satisfaction. In this talk, he shares three important lessons learned from the study and some practical, old-as-the-hills wisdom on building a fulfilling, long life.
