Friday 11/9
I am heading to Boise for Mason’s regional XC meet. Lorin will hold down the fort! I hate missing a day, especially an assembly day, but you are in good hands and family comes first – thank you for your understanding.
Morning Meeting Update
“I can’t wait for our staff meeting on the Tuesday morning after a long-weekend.” said nobody ever! Staff Meeting on Tuesday 11/13 is canceled; next week you can start your week doing what you need to do teach your class rather than sitting in a meeting. Next staff meeting is Tuesday 12/4.
Culminations….WHAT?!?!!? How is already time for culminations?
Good luck, try to relax and enjoy and remember there’s no such thing a perfect culmination. You’ve done great work with your students and it shows.
SIW Update
We are going to use Wednesday 12/12 for Design Team Meetings. Most SIWs should be labeled for our purposes on the calendar between now and winter break.
BrightBytes Survey
Brightbytes Survey Window will open on 11/12 and close on the 30th. Instructions for teacher survey and student survey will follow in separate emails early next week.
College Day Staff Photo
Let’s plan on a staff team photo on Friday morning at 8:30. I was thinking we should take it in the gym, but if anyone has a better setting, I am open to suggestions.
Welcome Back Rob Hartsock
Thanks to Rob’s incredibly well-timed return from the tech help-desk dungeon the Apple TVs are being installed in your rooms. We appreciate you, Rob – thanks so for getting our projection capability up and running.
More Math Minutiae! (Minutiae is not really the word I want, but it made an alliteration so I’m going with it!)
Linked below is another great resource. As you continually strive to refine your practice and develop the classroom culture we are seeking for math this can be very useful. You should notice a lot of parallels with your own grade-level “look-fors”.
