When one looks at something is retrospect, one is looking back in time. One looks back and reflects on what has happened. In retrospect, there are many things that you might have done differently. Perhaps you would have started taking musical instrument lessons at an earlier age, or perhaps you would not have been so mean to your sister or brother. Retro means backward and specto (think of spectacles) means to look. So retrospect literally means "looking back."
Sometimes a museum will put on an exhibit that is a retrospective of a particular artist. If this is the case, the museum has put on an exhibit of the artist's work and displayed it in a chronological or historical order. There might be pictures from when the artist was just starting out, from his or her middle years, and from his or her later years. Then people can see how the... [View Entire Message]
Understanding the whole child is a task every educator strives to achieve. As teachers begin the process of creating class lists for the 2008-2009 school year, many factors are considered. Ensuring that balanced classrooms are created, that students are supported and surrounded by strong learning “buddies” is often a difficult task in a district the size of Winfield. Parents, if you have specific insights you would like to share with me regarding your child’s learning characteristics, please contact me (909-4999 or ppalagi@winfield34.org). This information, versus requests for specific teachers, will assist us in developing optimal learning environments for all students.
Sincerely, Patti Palagi, Principal
Have you ever been to a game or a parade where all the people in the crowds are yelling, waving their arms, and perhaps even stomping their feet? The crowd is boisterous. When one is boisterous, one is boiling over with high spirits and rowdiness. Crowds can become so boisterous at times that they storm the field and tear down goalposts.
Some people are more boisterous that others. They are noisy and excited. The boisterous child may scream and yell and dance a jig if he or she wins a pencil without an eraser, while the non-boisterous child may quietly say, " Oh, by the way, I won a trip to Disneyland."
There are some days when we are more boisterous than other days. For example, often when a class goes on a field trip, the students are more boisterous than usual. People often become boisterous at parties. [View Entire Message]
Chili Fest was a huge success thanks to our wonderful PTO and Community. I would like to thank our entire PTO executive board and all of the parents who supported this event. All those involved spent countless hours prior to, during, and after Chili Fest to ensure the success of the event. I enjoyed meeting many community and extended family members last Saturday evening. There were also several recent graduates who attended; a true testament to the value these types of events hold for our students. The next PTO meeting will be held Monday May 7 at 7:00pm. This is an excellent time to share your thanks and support future efforts of our PTO.
The wind is blowing at a hundred miles an hour, and everywhere around you objects are being picked up by the wind - chairs, toys, dirt, and even part of a roof. You are holding on as tightly as you can, your knuckles are white and strained, and your fingers feel as if they are being pulled off. Yet there you stay, unmoving, firmly remaining in one place. You are steadfast.
Your friend is accused of cheating. You know that he or she did not cheat, that your friend did well by studying hard. Despite what people say, you do not change your opinion or think that your friend cheated. You remain steadfastly loyal.
When a thing is steadfast, it is firmly attached to one place (like the way a boat should be anchored, or a flagpole should be cemented into the ground). When one is steadfast, one does not change what one believes or... [View Entire Message]
