Gotta know it...
- Our Tuesday meeting will begin promptly at 3:50. Linda will share for 10 minutes about procedures for student behaviors. After she shares if you do not use LEXIA, you may leave. Matt Rosebrough will teach us how to analyze student data on Lexia. Please bring your devices.
- The Padlet is a venue for your reflection on learning theories. Being reflective is not only a great way to solidify our learning but also a way to share thoughts which enhances our colleagues understanding as well. There are 12 responses to the Padlet so if you haven't reflected about the theory of the learner make sure you do before the literacy team meeting on Wednesday.
- Please send home mid-quarter reports of students you have concerns about by Friday of this week.
- Each grade level may schedule buses for one entry event field trip for this semester's PBL unit. Buses will be scarce as the spring approaches so schedule your bus now! Each bus costs $100 so if you want to go on more than one field trip you will need to collect money from the kids to pay for the bus. Don't forget you can go to the PBL page on canvas and request district funds to pay for buses too! Also, I have a contact of someone who knows many special speakers. If you need someone, please let me know.
- Evangel University is buying every Weller staff and student an Evangel sweatshirt! This is a great way to promote college for our kids. To showcase and honor all of the great students and staff at Weller, on February 17th we are invited to attend the Evangel girls and guys basketball game from 6:00--8:00. Our 4th and 5th graders will sing the National Anthem at half-time for the girls game and at the beginning of the boys game! Please encourage your kids to wear their sweatshirt and come!
