Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program

Hal Henderson is home of the Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program. Mrs. Angela Capers, a "highly qualified" teacher with exceptional talents, developed the program during the 2008-2009 academic year. Mrs. Karen Graves, a "highly qualified" paraprofessional, works collaboratively with the 2010-2011 teacher, Mrs. Patricia Cook, to continously move the program forward. Mrs. Cook was previously our State Department of Education Technical Assistant who evaluated our program. We have 18 students enrolled in Pre-K. I am also pleased to announce that our site has been recognized by the State Department of Education as "exemplary."

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

"It's rare for a teacher to only have one challenge on his or her plate."

Are you overwhelmed? Think about the following questions. Your answers or attitude may assist you in finding ways to gain control.

1. What factors or tasks cause you to feel overwhelmed?

2. Rate your flexibility. How does your flexibility or lack of flexibility affect the feeling of being overwhelmed?

3. What role does attitude play in juggling tasks?

4. List the advantages of organization by (sequence) (priority). Being prepared will reduce stress. When we "fly by the seat of our pants" we are the cause of our own stress.

5. What can you teach students about handling life situations that seem overwhelming to them? It helps to "practice what we preach!"

The Dribbling Team from Hoover City Schools (Deer Valley Elementary) was a wonderful experience for our children. It seems all faculty and staff enjoyed the show as well. Several of you have mentioned beginning our very own "Dribbling Team." If you would like to see our students have this opportunity, please e-mail me with your thoughts on the idea. Our students were well behaved and I appreciate your cooperation with all events/activities here at Henderson.

I want to thank everyone who helped with the Breakfast in honor of our Board Members. The food was delicious, the decorations were wonderful, and the students were well behaved. I appreciate all of you and I hope everyone received a plate this morning. I am so proud of our school and all we have accomplished. We are the best and I want everyone to know about it. Keep up the great work!

The breakfast was truly first-class. The food was great and including the Student Council reminds us of why we are here. When the students took turns with their remarks, one student summed it up well: "We've got a good school." 'Nuff said. Thanks for including me.
