What a week! Fresh into a new marking period are we. With a short week behind us, I am going to keep this note short and sweet.
I am going to start with sweet... Thanks to all you who came to meet with us at Conferences. It was a pleasure to sit and chat with you about your great kids! The foundations you have created allows us to extend their learning in ways that are fit for a growing mind. Thank you also for your feedback regarding our setting for Conferences. There are a variety of ways we could go about inviting you in, and I think I have done them all in my 11 years of teaching. But this setting works the best for parents and teachers when you factor in all the variables and account for the negatives. The reality behind conferences is that there is no such thing as perfect and where benefits exist, there may be a few things that are sacrificed to achieve that. Our reflection on conferences is that our structure maximizes benefits while minimizes costs.
I want to take a moment here to thank all you parents who are Veterans. We spent some time this week to look presently and historically at the necessity of taking a day to recognize and honor those that have given a part of their life, as well as those who have given much, much more, to provide for us a way of living that is too easy to take for granted. God has blessed us through those who have answered the call of duty. May God continue to bless them for their sacrifice for our benefit.
Lastly, I want to point us all to the next week. Our focus is on the Philadelphia Convention -
- Why did delegates meet?
- What was their purpose?
- Who attended?
- And what was the result of the meeting?
Most of us know the Constitution as the guide for our government, but few recognize the historical necessity behind its creation and the problems it was set out to fix. We will dive into those questions and more as we reconvene Monday.
Until then, I am yours,
Mr. Bruce
