Memorial Day Weekend

Good Afternoon,

What a week it was as the 4th graders put on a beautiful concert and received their NDLC diplomas on Wednesday night. Followed that with an amazing sun filled day of walking to the library, and picnic at the park. A wide range of emotions filled the week from happiness to sadness, and I think a little bit of everything in between; which must be a good thing because then it means you were a part of something special, and that is what I think we have here at NDLC, something special. With the last couple of days approaching, if their is any questions or anything you have wonderings about please do not hesitate to reach out as I will help in any way I can. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and healthy Memorial Day Weekend!

A Look Ahead:

  • May 27th - No School
  • May 28th - Mini Courses / Field Day
    • I will be sending home i-Ready results this day in a folder for students. 
  • May 29th - Last Day of School
    • Students do not need to bring their backpacks the last two days if they don't want to. If they want to bring just a string bag they can, or if they want to bring their backpack it is OK, but other than if they have cold lunch or a water bottle to bring, they should be set. 


That's all for this week!

Have a great weekend!


Mr. VW

Happy New Year!

Good Afternoon, As we launch into a brand new school year I wanted to say it was a great week getting to know all of the students a little bit better every single day. It is a very fun and outgoing group, and I am excited to see all that the students accomplish and grow this year both academically and socially. They showed tremendous perseverance getting through the first couple of days with how hot it was, and as we all transition back into our school routines. I am looking forward to a great school year, and embarking on this learning journey with each and everyone of them. Week in Review: Leader in Me:  As a Leader in Me School, one of our 5 Core Paradigms (our view),  is that caregivers, family members, and teachers partner to support the whole student.

They then took some of those ideas and brought them to life writing pow

Say Do You Remember...That Week in September

Good Afternoon, The days keep rolling by, and when you look up at the calendar it's hard to believe that next week is already the last week in September. We are 14 days into the school year already, and students have seemingly settled into the routines of the school year. I have been impressed with the leaders we have in the classroom not only setting the example for their peers, but the younger Huskies here at NDLC. The 4th graders are working hard everyday, so I hope they enjoy the time away from school to sharpen their saw so that they can come to school ready to be the best version of themselves. Week in Review: Leader in Me:  This week, we learned about paradigms. Paradigms, or our mental map, can help us deal with difficult situations. View this resource to learn more about Leader in Me paradigms and ways to engage your family! Writing: Writers wrote a flash draft of one of their original ideas from the previous week, and then spent the week taking that piece of writing t

Halftime of April!

Good Afternoon, This week the students finished up yet another round of forward testing with just the math sessions remaining next week. I have been proud of their continued efforts as testing can take a lot of time and energy, but remaining consistent with their effort is imperative. For them, finding the motivation to continue to be their best self, being kind, safe, and respectful as we head towards the end of the school year because as the weather gets better it can get harder to want to keep that energy high in the classroom as well. I'm excited for them to finish the school year strong, and be proud of all the growth they have made. Week in Review: Leader in Me:  This week we discussed how we can be upstanders, not bystanders, in bullying situations. A bystander is a person who is present at an event or incident, does not take part, and doesn’t help. An upstander is a person who speaks or acts in support of an individual or cause, particularly someone who intervenes on behalf
