Hey All!
I hope the weekend treated you well and that you were able to get out and play a bit. I skied into Todd Lake from Dutchman for the first time-oh my! Can’t wait to go back!
A few notes to get you going…
1) It’s time for the Winter ROAR Assessment–you can start any time. As you will recall, this is available on student’s iPads. Note: K/1 should be waiting for some info from the district as there were issues with those assessments.
2) SIW this week is a Teacher Work Day–enjoy the time!
3) Cafe Amity this week, Kinder hosts.
4) Visiting artists start this week during Enrichment: Bree Beal will be working with Kinder, Grade 1, and Grade 2; Matthew Gwinup will be working with Grades 3-5
5) I know some of you are curious what we’ll be doing on the January 30th Teacher Work Day, so I wanted to give you a little info. We’ll be focussed on 2 things: 1) connecting with 3 to 5 families as a mid-point check in between our October and March Conversations–more details coming in an email soon; 2) exploring a shift to standards-based reporting and what that could look like for Amity in the future–also more details coming soon. We’ll also check in about the launch of the Variety Show.
6) I’ll be away from school on Friday–Brian and Brad will be covering for me.
