Laptop Tricks
I learned some great tricks for organizing my Chrome (bookmarks, extensions, etc.) that I would love to share with anyone interested. For example, ways to make your email, calendar all available with one quick click. Let me know if you would like me to share with you.

I am doing my best to get my classroom time back on track after the plethora of recent distractions that have pulled me away. I will be doing my best to buckle down and get the minis completed and as always I appreciate any and all of your help finding the time for the follow-up. I know you are busy so I want to honor your time, but I also want to honor our work intended to push ourselves to be better in the area of math. If you need a quick refresher on our “Look Fors”, please click below.
If you are curious about how many minis you have and need, just let me know.
Conferences
The survey supports sticking with the original plan with 8 votes, which is probably a good idea since this was already communicated to the public. (4 votes for plan B and 2 votes for plan C.) I will cancel the charter plane for Hawaii since it only got 1 vote.
- Wednesday 4/3 SIW – Conference Prep
- Wednesday 4/10 SIW – Conference Prep
- Thursday 4/11 – Regular Schedule Student Day
- Friday 4/12 – Conferences 8:00-4:00
I have a short letter prepared for parents to let them know that our ability to provide conferences for everyone this particular week will be challenged.

Thank you to Alicia, Amber, JJ and Becky E – we have your info in and we are waiting on the rest. Please try to get this entered as soon as possible. Help us help you.
Also, please don’t hesitate to provide some feedback on how to make the survey more user-friendly. Marina caught a few things that will be easy changes to make it more workable.
