The Learning Edge
PD in your PJ's
Welcome to a great year!
To add to that excitement I live with an incoming 1st and 4th grader, who are also anxiously waiting to find out who their teachers will be, backpack and lunchbox ready to go! Their biggest fear after that is “what if they don’t like me?” While my biggest fear is always what if they struggle or aren’t successful, will I be present enough (all of our lives are always so busy) to see the warning signs? But before I get lost going down that rabbit hole, I remind myself that this is a fresh start and we can make it anything we want to! And that’s the way we are going to look at it.
At the beginning of every month I will be sending out a monthly newsletter to let you know about upcoming assessment dates, to share articles and videos about best practices, as well as other tidbits, to help keep you ahead of the game! And hey, you can even watch or listen in your PJ's! If there is anything special that you would like to see just let me know!
As always, if there is anything you need please, let me know. I am an email or phone call away!
Wishing you all the best as you start your new year! Shelley
2019-20 Assessment calendar Here is a quick 1 page snapshot for you to download of the timetable for all of our district assessments. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ba5hgFIjjKJHW8EzwNP5AMtWZIC-BQ9h/view?usp=sharing | Daring Classrooms This is a favorite author/speaker of mine. Here she shares a 30 minute TED-like talk with educators about Daring Classrooms. | Curriculum Guides Our pacing guides have NOT changed this year. I have attached the one page link to all of our padlets. A padlet is like an electronic cork board where we have posted the electronic versions of our Math and ELA Curriculum Guides along with a ton of connected content, especially in Math!
