Week at Windsor 12.22.19
Looking back and ahead at Windsor news and happenings...
Dear Windsor Families,
Hoping this weekend's message finds you well. Here is our final Week at Windsor for the year 2019!
We had such a fun and festive week here at school. We included some links but please check out our school Twitter page. It definitely captures the many different highlights!
We hope you and your children have a safe and wonderful winter break. As a reminder, students return to school on Monday, January 6, 2020.
As the year 2019 nears its end, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have contributed to the success of our school. It is a privilege to teach your children each day and to serve such a supportive community.
In this spirit, we say simply but sincerely…Thank You and Best Wishes for the New Year!

Week of Holiday Fun
Different dress up days, special field trips, mystery class readers, math challenges, impromptu musical performances, etc. this week at Windsor was festive and fun!
Many thanks to Mrs. Ziemann and our fourth and fifth grade classes for filling our hallways and school with beautiful music!
Week of Holiday Fun
On Friday, Mrs. Anastacio and Ms. Boston were able to meet with each grade level along with some special guest readers, Mrs. Avvisati and Mrs. Barber.
We read stories and revisited our growth mindset theme to kick off this school year...The Power of Yet.
We showed a short animated video, Soar, which reinforced the importance of persevering and learning from trial and error. We celebrated all that students have learned this past year. We also challenged them to think about what they haven't learned or mastered...YET!
When we return, we will ask everyone to consider their learning and set goals for the new year!
