FW: New Carpool Policy for Late Arrivals

 

Teachers,

Please forward the email below to your parents.  We will begin this on Wednesday.  The only change is for those who arrive after all the cars have been filled in the line.  Thanks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                                                                                                            January 28, 2014

Parents,

Starting on Wednesday, January 29^th, we will begin a new carpool procedure.  We will continue waiting outside for parents until there are no more cars in the carpool line.  Once the cars are all filled, we will bring the students inside to wait for parents to arrive.  This is approximately 2:30 pm.  This is just an approximation, as we will be moving inside when there are no longer cars in the line.

 

If you arrive after this time, we will be in the lobby waiting with the students.  Please park in a parking space and come in to pick up your child.  Please do not block the driveway by parking in the carpool line.  When you come in, please bring your carpool number as identification.

 

If your child is not picked up by 2:45 pm, they will be sent to ASP.  You will be charged $7 per day, as well as a $10 registration fee if you are not currently registered.

If you have any questions about the new policy, feel free to contact me at mary.kale@cobbk12.org.

 

Thanks you for your support,

Kemp - Brazile 1/27 update

Parents -

I know I look like an idiot but there's another change. I don't want to mislead you or candy coat it. It was suggested the other day that I change and now I've been asked to change back.

I'll need a chance to reconstruct the webpages. Due to this confusing chain of events, we'll disregard the prior due dates and just make the assignments due by the new test dates (I will post those on the site but expect about a week later than originally posted).

I sincerely apologize for the confusion and look forward to getting back to the great things we've been working on.

All work the kids completed Monday, will not be in vain. I'll work it in as "class work" assignments.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,
Shane Brazile

Kemp - Brazile - 1/27/2014

Parents-

The format in class is changing. I hate to do it in the middle of a unit, but I have to make the change now. Please don’t worry about your child not getting credit for the work and projects they’ve completed, they will still get credit. They can continue to work on projects at home for more credit if they so choose but I am not requiring it.

The homework section of our website is changing also. We’ve consistently had the same assignments but due to the change I feel it’s important to list what we’ve completed in class as well as any homework assignments. You can still find the homework listed under the “News” tab.

If at any time your child has a problem with the work, please let me know. Homework may be a little more as we move through different material. If it’s too much one night, please just let me know with a note. I don’t want them spending hours and shedding tears. Today was a little harder for them because they’re still used to working at a different pace, so there may be some classwork being finished for homework.

Thanks,

Shane Brazile

Kemp - Brazile 1/17

Parents –

 

Just want to say “Congratulations!” to our 3 representatives in the Spelling Bee. In the competition between the top 4^th and 5^th graders, our classmates made it several rounds. Daniel and Ashley finished just outside the top 10 and Olivia finished 3^rd overall. Some of the hardest words this year and great spellers throughout the competition.

 

Please remember - No school Monday for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

 

Have a great weekend,

Shane Brazile

Kemp - Brazile 1/16

Parents-

 

We're almost through our week here at Kemp (and everywhere else too). The kids are really into the new units. I'm glad to see them enthusiastic about learning. I know they're really enthusiastic about trying to blow up a mini light bulb, but they're learning while they're doing that. I've tried to incorporate a decent bit of humor into the Science unit and engaging projects in the Social Studies. The bad part of all this is I've included a lot of good instructional videos to enhance the unit. Due to firewall restrictions that seem to change weekly and Apple's decision to hate Flash programs, several of our videos aren't showing up at school. I've asked the kids to check them out at home if they're able. I'm covering the material in my "talks" with them and it's covered through multiple resources that are working. However, they're great resources so I'd encourage them to watch them in their free time sometime before the unit ends.

 

I'm attaching a newsletter from "Love and Logic." For those unfamiliar, they encourage parents and educators to use love and logic to guide our kids/students. I've been to trainings and seminars for this and listened to most of their CDs (I won the set at my first seminar). Great stuff, even if it does sound hokey. There are good snippets in most of their newsletters and this week's had a couple I really like. They encourage: "loving kids enough to let them make affordable mistakes, rather than trying to micromanage them into success…loving kids enough to place most of our emphasis on teaching character, compassion, and problem solving rather than teaching to the test…loving kids enough to hold them accountable for their choices…loving them enough to build them up in their areas of strength, so that they have the energy to face their areas of weakness." Too often we, as parents and educators, get caught up in making sure the kids get the right answers. How many times have we gotten frustrated sitting with our own kids, wondering why they won't just write something like we're telling them or "just add those together!" Kids don't learn by being told what to do, they have to experience it, they have to try. There will be failure to some degree, but we want those moments to be learning opportunities – for them to learn how to bounce back, how to solve a problem. The kids won't learn unless we give them the opportunity. It's tough to watch our kids struggle. If you don't believe I understand, try sitting with Slade doing homework or even worse – learning to ride a bike. It tests my patience and as much as I wish he'd take my wisdom – he has to experience it and struggle. The learning will be more meaningful and their sense of accomplishment so much greater.

 

So, jump on this bandwagon, keep your arms and legs in at all times, enjoy the ride – bumps and all. Your kids are amazing and I hope you're seeing as much growth as I am.

 

Thanks,

Shane Brazile

 

PS – Don't forget school's out next Monday!

Subject: [MARKETING] A Controversial Approach to Education

 

Those of us who've been in education long enough to see the pendulum swing…six months or longer…have noticed that there's always something "new" on the horizon, promising to elevate the scholastic bar…as well as the achievement of our nation's youth.   After each "new" program, approach, or mandate, it seems that we remember…as King Solomon so aptly recognized…that there is nothing truly new under the sun.   Perhaps it's time to get more focused on something really old: Love.   Of course, I'm not talking about romantic love. I'm not talking about wishy-washy-wimpy love. I'm talking about…   loving kids enough to provide warmth and empathy, regardless of how they act, how well they learn, or how bright they are…   loving kids enough to let them make affordable mistakes, rather than trying to micromanage them into success…   loving kids enough to place most of our emphasis on teaching character, compassion, and problem solving rather than teaching to the test…   loving kids enough to hold them accountable for their choices…   loving them enough to build them up in their areas of strength, so that they have the energy to face their areas of weakness.   Darrell Scott can attest to the precious nature of each and every moment we spend with the children and students under our care. His daughter was shot and killed at Columbine High School, and he's devoted his life to helping schools around the globe develop cultures of respect and compassion.   This summer…at our Love and Logic retreat…Darrel and I will share why love is so essential to academic achievement and how we as parents and educators can realize its true potential.   For more tips on this topic watch "Hope for Underachieving Kids" DVD.   Thanks for reading!

Kemp - Brazile 1/10/2014

Parents-

 

Made it through another Friday. Report cards are coming home today. There’s a signature card attached to the front. Please sign that for the second quarter and return to me.

 

On the report card, there’s a sticker in the 2^nd quarter comment section. That’s the student’s Spanish marks.

 

We’ll be working on Measurement standards in Math next week, so they will all have the same skills to work on with IXL. There will be a skills test Friday covering conversion of metric measurements. All Science and Social Studies projects that showed as due this past week will be due Monday.

 

Have a great weekend!

Shane Brazile
