The Weekend is here! Thank you for your hard work this week! I am proud to have each of you on the GBE Team!!
Week Ahead:
Monday, August 22, 2016-
1st Late Start- GBE's Cafe', Library and Computer Lab will be used these mornings. Meet in the Art room at 8:00. Please bring something to write with, and your mindset for Essential Learning Outcomes. We will also touch base regarding Curriculum Night details, briefly.
We will do some PLC work for setting off on the right foot as teams and ELO's.

First day of AM Transitions- we will only start off allowing students to Transition to the Library and the Computer Lab at this time. Due to supervision and space 1 student may go for Library at a time and one for Computer Lab. If this changes we will make everyone aware. Use a rotational schedule making sure not the same students are attending. Passes will be given to you that students will use when they are transitioning to a new area in the AM. Remember Use this opportunity to set the day of right-- Be at your door greeting; have morning routines and community jobs; develop morning connections; use for checking in on your learners and their understanding of the work they practiced the night before as homework at home. It can be invaluable time, if used correctly.
