Our First Group Returns!
This week our first group of students has returned to school! It was great to see them back smiling and learning. While most of our students are at home, teachers and support staff are training and planning for many more to return in just a little over a week.
Our kiddos at home are still working hard and having some fun too! Can't wait to see you all in person soon. Mrs. Chandler's class managed to celebrate together a bit with a sports day. Keep sending photos!
It's the Annual Global Cardboard Challenge!
The pandemic did not stop Glenbrook students from participating in our annual Global Cardboard Challenge. This year marks the 6th annual event at Glenbrook. Thank you to Mrs. Ellen Smith who organized the event. Although we had to switch to a virtual event, we still had nearly 50 participants upload videos of their projects. And, as I write this blog, more students continue to upload. The projects are so much fun to see. I only wish I could come by students' houses to play!
To check out the project, click on the flipgrid link. (Only those with a U-46 email can access them, sorry) For the rest of my followers, I have just a few photos below. Enjoy!
We are getting ready for a safe return!
Glenbrook's staff and the U-46 team is getting our building ready for the safe return of students. We can't wait to see them back, in person. We do want to do that safely though. Signage is up, floor markings are in place, new cubbies are installed, water bottle fillers are in place, classrooms and office areas are set up for social distancing, and PPE is ready. It won't be long now!
Week 5
Ms. Jetha Departs
We are sad to say that our Lunch Supervisor Lead, Ms. Jetha Fuller, is leaving Glenbrook. Oh, we will miss her so! Ms. Jetha always had a smile on her face and a warm greeting for the staff and students. Her priority was to make sure that each student felt special. When she heard it was their birthday, they got an individual song and dance from Ms. Jetha. What a treat! Ms. Jetha always made sure that every student had plenty to eat too. Throughout the school year, during our COVID19 lockdown, and all summer long, Ms. Jetha was at school preparing and packaging meals. Now, Ms. Jetha Fuller moves on to a full-time management position in central Illinois. We wish her the best of health, happiness, and prosperity!
Week 4
Keep those photos coming!
I so appreciate the photos parents, teachers, and students are sending! Thank you! If you want to be represented though, you have to send them in. Please do, they are fun to see and really show how much students are focused on their learning while having some fun too. Photos and 10-second videos can be sent to cherylderoo@u-46.org.
