It's not too late to join our book study! Over the break would be the perfect time to sit in your PJs and read! :) Grab the book (here's the amazon link if you need it) and then head over to classroom.google.com and use the plus sign to enter our class code: xo5uxx.
Our next Fri-Yay! is December 14th. Don't forget to start collecting exemplary student work to celebrate students and reinforce quality work! Think about what you want to reinforce and start looking for work you can celebrate!

Destination Imagination Appraiser
Our campus has 2 DI teams this year! Each team must have at lease one staff member attend DI Appraiser Training and serve as an Appraiser at the Gulf Coast Tournament. Training and 6 hours at the tournament gives 9 hours of PD credit. Each DI team must provide one Appraiser for the tournament, but they discourage using parents from the team as the Appraiser would likely miss seeing their child present. Any takers? Let me know!
