TEACHERS ON THE RUN 2008

On Nov 17th, 18th, and 19th the Todd Hall Teachers and staff participated in the second annual "TEACHERS ON THE RUN'.

Each teacher was given a designated partner. The partner had 15 Popsicle sticks in his/her hand. Each time the teacher ran one lap around and met his/her partner she was given a stick. At the end of the 5 min run to CHICKEN FAT, the teacher met his/her partner and counted her sticks. The results were recorded on a sheet and put on the bulletin board.

This activity is part of our three-week fitness unit. It also is a great activity that helps the children with math. It covers many of the multiple intelligences such as mathematical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, and musical.

Thank you for all the teachers and staff members who made these days so much fun for the children. You all did a GREAT JOB!

Todd Thanks the Lincoln Hall Face Painters

Each grade level made poster sized thank you cards for the eighth graders who painted faces at our October PBIS Celebration! The Todd students were delighted with the "big kids" handy work!

Family Reading Night

Thanks to the Lincolnwood Public Library, the District 74 PTA, the district librarians, and Dr. Jean Weiss for the wonderful event held at Rutledge Hall on November 20th. As a part of the Lincolnwood Lincoln Bicentennial celebration, Face to Face Productions performed a musical melodrama in which Abraham Lincoln overcomes adversities by developing tried and true character traits.

Bus Dismissal Procedures

Many parents have asked why their Todd student(s) are not able to sit with their older Rutledge Hall siblings on the bus. Dr. Weiss, Ms. McElligatt, and the bus company representatives and drivers have agreed upon the following procedures to faciliate the buses running on time:

Rutledge dismisses first and the Rutledge staff seat students from rear of bus up to the middle of the bus. The buses go to Todd. Todd students dismiss at 2:50-2:55.
