Mr. Hudson:
READ THE AGENDA!
Movies in the classroom: No movies are allowed to be shown without proper authorization.
Teachers need to fill out the form and submit it to Mr. Hudson. Movies do NOT teach children
content….they should be used as a “snapshot,” not an entire lesson.
Grades 2nd—5th: Please use Interactive Achievement as a “snapshot” in your lessons. Some staff
members recently observed this in another school and it was very effective!
Teacher’s Lounge: throw paper in the trash can or take back to your class to recycle, as there is no
longer a recycle bin in the teacher’s lounge.
Professionalism: Make sure that you are on-task at all times and teaching children. If you do not
want to work, you need to quit.
Duties/Meetings: If your name is listed on a duty assignment or scheduled for a meeting you need to
be on time and prepared. Mr. Hudson will not be giving reminders anymore, he will be writing staff
up instead.
Grade Level Meetings: We will meet in the Computer Lab today for ASPEN training, be on time
and grade level chairs need to bring the teaming log filled out to the meeting.

March Is Women History Month
Heroines of Women’s History
Rules fall into two major categories: written and unwritten. Written rules have secure homes in
documents; unwritten rules are customs and mores, a way of doing things; they dwell in the
intangible space of a society’s culture. Unwritten rules don’t even need to be spoken, they’re just
things that everybody, just, well, knows.
Sometimes-unwritten rules keep us safe and civil: don’t walk through that neighborhood at night;
don’t wear those holey jeans out to dinner; and do say please and thank you. But sometimesunwritten rules keep us down: Legos for the boys, dolls for the girls or that’s not feminine (or
masculine) behavior. But the most awful unwritten rule, the one that threatens progress and selfactualization, is: You can’t do that because it’s never been done before.
The five women below left legacies in their respective fields because they refused to play by this
egregiously appalling rule. Instead of asking themselves, “Can I do that?” they asked themselves
“How do I do that?” And then they went and did that in writing, aviation, politics, philosophy, and
fashion.
Here’s to breaking the rules.
Aphra Behn
When Behn sailed to Antwerp in 1666 to spy for King Charles II of England, he refused to pay her
for services rendered, and she landed in debtors’ prison. After her release, she eked out a living the
only way she knew how: by writing.

Telephone (804) 228-5310
Aphra Behn. Library of Congress
For the next 20 years, Behn wrote and performed in plays on the
bawdy English stage. Playwriting afforded Behn (rhymes with
Dane) some fortune, some fame, and some infamy. Her plays
gained notoriety as being too risqué. She became known as the
Restoration’s version of Jackie Collins.
Her most famous play, The Rover (1677), is still performed today
and has handed posterity such wonderful lines as, “There is no
sinner like a young saint.” But Behn gave us more than staged
17th century sexually provocative themes and neat aphorisms;
apart from the myriad of poems she wrote, she also produced
what some consider being the first English novel. English
literature had been comprised of epic poems: Beowulf, Sir
Gawain, and The Faerie Queen. Behn produced what some
consider the first prose narrative—certainly it is one of the
earliest English novels—in her groundbreaking work Oroonoko (1688), the tragic story of a slave in
Surinam. She is believed to be the first woman to make a living solely as a writer. Two hundred and
fifty years later, Virginia Woolf recognized the debt all women owed Ms. Behn: “All women
together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn … for it was she who earned them
the right to speak their minds.”
Beryl Markham's renowned memoir
Beryl Markham
Markham’s autobiography, West with the Night (1942), is more
than just a story of being the first person to fly non-stop from
England to North America. It’s the story of a young British girl
growing up in Kenya at the turn of the 20th century, a girl
deeply connected to her adopted country. Chapter after
mesmerizing chapter, we are delighted with stories of her
escaping being mauled by a lion (oh my!), breeding winning
racehorses, effortlessly landing her plane in the African bush on
medical, postal, and safari expeditions, and eventually flying
into the wind across the Atlantic Ocean. Markham writes with
such vigor that you can see the beautiful horses she’s training,
marvel at the expanse of the African landscape, and fear the dark
nights she’s accustomed to flying in. In fact, her writing is so
evocative that Papa Hemingway himself wrote of her: “She can
write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers.”
Oh yeah, and she could fly, too.
Eleanor of Aquitaine
This 12th century queen’s impressive resume reads like this:

Objective: Politically astute, ambitious, spirited, and intelligent medieval beauty seeks mutually
beneficial alliances with feudal lords and emerging European royalty.
Education
Homeschooled by father William, a duke in southern France. Well-versed in Latin.
Enameled stone effigy at Eleanor of Aquitaine's tomb in Abbey of Fontevrand.

Experience
Married Louis VII, King of France
Bore two daughters: Marie and Alix
Led legion of women to the Second Crusade
Conducted inappropriate affair with Uncle Raymond
Received annulment of first marriage, retained original lands
Married Henry II, Duke of Normandy and Count of Anjou and
future King of England
• Bore eight children: William, Henry, Matilda, Richard,
Geoffrey, Eleanor, Joanna, and John
• Patronized arts, particularly love-song-singing troubadours
• Led rebellion with sons Henry, Richard, and Geoffrey against second husband
• Imprisoned for 16 years by husband King Henry II of England
• Raised ransom money to free son Richard (the Lionhearted) from a Viennese prison
• Died at ripe young age of 82
Legacy
• Marriage to second husband Henry II meant that large swaths of French territory came under
English rule. It would take hundreds of years—and the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453)—
to sort out the land disputes between the French and the English.
• Youngest son, John, who rose to the English throne in 1199, signed the Magna Carta in 1215,
which restricted the powers of the monarchy and laid the groundwork for English common
law and the Constitution of the United States.

Mary Wollstonecraft. Library of Congress.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Had she just been the wife of the British political philosopher
William Godwin, Wollstonecraft’s Wikipedia entry would be a
mere few lines. Had she just been the mother of Mary Shelley,
the author of the Gothic novel Frankenstein, her entry might
double.
The entry gets even longer if we include Wollstonecraft’s
travelogue Letters Written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
(1796), which details her journey through Scandinavia with the
Page

Telephone (804) 228-5310
child of the man who rejected her. In Letters, her writing is so stark one can smell the effluvia of the
salted herring, breathe in the clean, cool sea air, and sink into the homey chairs at the local inns.
One can also feel her emotional pain.
But Wollstonecraft’s Wikipedia entry is extensive because she advocated for equal rights for women
and equal access to education. She wrote these crazy ideas down in the seminal feminist work, A
Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). She is the reason women’s activists descend like locusts
on the Augusta Golf Club every year demanding to know when women are going to be admitted as
members. She posited that everyone wins with a more educated populace. Her daughter’s classic,
Frankenstein, is proof of that.
Amelia Bloomer
If you’re female and wearing pants right now, you can thank Amelia Bloomer. The eponymous
Bloomer was not the first to wear the balloon-like trousers that cinched at the ankles, but she
advocated wearing them, wrote about wearing them, and wore them herself. The press assigned
these ridiculous firsts of the female pant world the name Bloomers.
Bloomerism - fashion not only changes lives, it changes history. Library of
Congress.
Bloomers became popular because Bloomer and her friends
(whom she had met at the Women’s Rights Convention in
Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848) started wearing them.
Bloomers were more practical than the fashion of the time:
heavy skirts, petticoats and whalebone corsets. Also, it’s much
easier to ride a bicycle and keep your modesty with pants
underneath your multiple skirts.
Bloomer became known as an advocate for rational dress reform
and is proof that fashion not only changes lives, it also changes
history.
These women are a mere quintet who, by refusing to play by the rules that society handed to them,
forever altered the course of history.

community with our biggest fundraiser the Holton Hustle 5k Fest. Currently we need

many current members will be leaving after this current school year, it is imperative
we fill these leadership positions now to provide continuity. On the back of this flyer

If you can devote your time to serving on this committee we will greatly appreciate it.

Purpose of the Practicum
The practicum for early elementary education covers two semesters, with placement each semester in a different school.
The practice are referred to as A and B, each two-credits. Planned observations and tasks are identified for the twosemester sequence. Students spend a minimum of 40 hours in a designated school. Practicum a students are placed in a
K-2 classroom and their time should be spent during language arts. Practicum B students have two placements, one K-2
classroom and one 3-5 classroom, and their time should be spent during math, science, and social studies
The in-school experience is an opportunity to observe how learning experiences are developed and structured and to
examine how teachers make decisions in elementary school classrooms. The practicum is intended to be a time for
observation and interaction. While a few tasks require teaching formal lessons, the practicum is not intended to provide
extensive instructional experience. To provide focus to the experience, tasks for the practicum students in early
elementary education have been identified.

Telephone (804) 228-5310
Timeframe of the Practicum
Each practicum student will spend a minimum of four hours a week for ten+ weeks in their assigned school. Days and
times will vary for each student because of individual class schedules. Moreover, days and times must be agreed upon
by the cooperating teacher and the student. Students will begin and end their practicum experience according to
semester guidelines established by the university instructors.
Professional Roles
•
•
Role of the Cooperating Teacher: The preparation of new teachers is an important task that could not be
done adequately without the professional and unselfish assistance of effective teachers willing to share their
classroom. Cooperating teachers have two major responsibilities during the practicum experience. First, and
foremost, they should provide opportunities for practicum students to work with students in a variety of
capacities. Students are to work closely with the teacher, and should never assume responsibility for the entire
class alone. Second, teachers need to provide opportunities for students to complete assigned tasks and verify
completion of hours by signing the timesheet. Teachers are encouraged to give feedback to students, but are
not asked to sign grades. An evaluation will be completed at the end of the practicum experience to provide
more extensive feedback to the students.
Role of the Student: During the practicum experience, the student is a learner. The student is to eagerly seek
to learn about the policies and procedures of the school as well as the dynamics of teaching and learning that
occurs in the classroom. The practicum students are provided the opportunity to observe and learn in a
classroom environment and should act responsibly at all times. Informal participation is encouraged when
directed by the cooperating teacher. Students should complete practicum tasks after discussion with
cooperating teacher and should listen to feedback to improve their teaching.
Professional Expectations of the Student
Practicum students represent VCU and the School of Education. They are guests in the school and classrooms. What
students do while in the public schools reflects on the institution and influences the thinking of professionals regarding
the quality of the teacher preparation program and the students. It is expected that each student will represent VCU well.
Students’ performance during their practicum will also become part of their “legacy” and how others view them as
potential applicants for a position in the school division. Consequently, students should pay close attention to such
things as punctuality, reliability, appropriate dress, neatness, scholarship, and willingness to work with the cooperating
teacher. Essentially, students should demonstrate enthusiasm for relating to children and be committed to working with
teachers and performing designated tasks of the practicum.
Student Responsibilities
Students are expected to fulfill the following responsibilities during the semester:
• In-school assignment for minimum required time of 4 hours each week.
• Spend a minimum of ten weeks in assigned school during the semester.
• Complete all required tasks which may vary by instructor.
• Write an evaluation of the practicum experience.
• If extenuating circumstances occur, notify the school and cooperating teacher prior to absence(s) or
immediately thereafter.
• Arrangements must be made with cooperating teacher to make up absences.

Tornado Drill
March is Tornado Preparedness Month, On Tuesday, March 17, 2015, the Richmond Public
Schools’ Department of Safety and Security, the Virginia Department of Emergency Services and
the National Weather Service will cosponsor Tornado Preparedness Day. On that day they will
conduct a statewide tornado drill. The drill is designed to get schools prepared and knowledgeable
about how to protect students and staff if a tornado warning is issued. Participation in this drill is
expected from all staff. The signal will be Code Orange (Report to shelter in place) via intercom.
Teachers must take their roll book or attendance cards with them. The drill may last for 30 minutes
so you may want students to carry a book or two with them to
READ. Code Green will mean that you return to normal operations.
No one is to be on the second floor. No students are to be across from their classrooms because of
the glass beside the classroom doors. If there are questions, please be sure to ask them before the
drill. Students are to quietly sit Indian Style, facing the wall during the drill. Locations for shelter in
place are as follows:
Rooms 101,102, 103, 105, 106 on solid walls on both sides, both ends
Rooms 104, 107, 108, 109 on long hallways between art corner and K

USEFUL LOCKDOWN DRILL INFORMATION What is a lockdown? A school lockdown confines all staff and students to the classroom due to a perceived or real threat; isolation of staff and students inside the school limits exposure to risk to outside contaminants: people, exposures or situations. When should a school go into “lockdown” and who makes the decision? There are several reasons for a school to determine that a lockdown status is most protective of its staff and students. There may be an unwelcomed person or persons on the campus grounds; local law enforcement has notified administration of a situation (i.e., chemical accident) or person of concern in the vicinity; or a menacing animal has been seen on the grounds. In short, there is some sort of event occurring, or threatening to occur; limiting access to staff and students can mitigate that the school believes. For actual incidents requiring lockdowns, building principals can initiate lockdown status or by the prompting/guidance of local law enforcement. •
•
•
•
•
•
•
DIRECT all students from hallways into classroom. Notify appropriate staff of primary classroom/location if/as possible that student is safe. Do not exit classroom for ANY reason. Inform students that they are not allowed to use their cell phones for calls or for text messaging during a lockdown drill or situation. Hundreds of calls being made simultaneously will not only jam the system, but will result in parents arriving at the school, which only increases the danger to everyone. LOCK all exterior doors. If there is no lock on the door – move heaviest object in front if possible. CLOSE windows and blinds. STAY AWAY from all doors and windows, move students towards walls away from door. SHUT OFF LIGHTS. DO NOT OPEN exterior doors for any reason until an “all clear” is received. DO NOT USE the telephone system to request information. Follow building protocol to communicate room status. Page

BE QUIET! Wait for further instructions. CALM and reassure upset students. RESUME NORMAL OPERATIONS as soon as possible. Location Considerations Gymnasium: Students should be moved into the locker room, lock all doors and seek shelter in pre-‐‑identified safe areas. Lunchroom: Students should be moved to the far side of the most open areas, turn tables on side if necessary. Outside: Students should stop, drop and remain still or huddle around playground equipment p.m.ent; if/as possible, depending upon situation, attempt to move into building. Bathrooms: Students/staff should move into a stall, lock the staff door and crouch on the toilet so feet, hands and head are hidden from view Hallway: Students should move into closest classroom immediately Library: Students should seek shelter under tables, or in aisles. Lock the door, turn out the lights. What to Tell Students As appropriate, encourage staff to review the importance of emergency drills with students, as well as their role during drills. Provide students with specific instructions about each drill and include the drill objectives. Allow student feedback concerning lockdown drills. Provide drill information to all new students. Plan accordingly for students with disabilities. Page

Telephone (804) 228-5310
What to Tell Parents Parents should be informed of the requirement for all drills to ensure safe practices during emergencies in the school building. Schools need to inform parents, either before or after a lockdown drill; if after, commend student behavior and add any suggestions or changes for future drills. During a lockdown drill or situation, parents must not attempt to enter the building until the area has been secured by local law enforcement or cleared by administration. Page
