Celebrating Success
In our brief visits to your classrooms Cris and I have seen some really dynamic strategies being used to increase vocabulary and writing opportunities. Kelly Koelfgin and Mike Vogler use a cool tool called a Vocabulary Cube that provokes students to think deeply about what they are reading and articulate why a specific topic is important and relevant. Gaby Garcia is using the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey for her ASP. Students read and discuss the principles of the book together. Her ASP Students are thoroughly engaged and have expressed how much they are enjoying and benefitting from the Academic Support Period. Keep up the great work everyone!
Panther Golf For the first time ever our Golf Team is going to the state playoffs. Congratulations and Go Panthers!
Welcome Please join me in a warm welcome to our new Bookstore Manager, Carrie Crowther and our new Attendance Aide, Diana Middleton. We are happy you're here.
This week is Red Ribbon Week. The red ribbons are in your mailboxes. Second hour teachers please distribute to your students on Monday during 2nd hour.
PLCs Thank you for the excellent work in clearly identifying the "What" students are expected to learn in each of your classes. This Wednesday please continue the work of articulating Essential Learning Outcomes and Content Objectives. If your Collaborative Team has completed this task you are free to work together to share ways you plan to assess whether or not your students are learning the outcomes.
We will not meet together this week. Also remember that the last Wednesday of each month is set aside for teachers to collaborate with colleagues in other buildings. We will meet as a Faculty on Wednesday November 7 @ 1:30PM in the mini-theater. Please mark your calendars.
