Warner Update
October 14 - October 21st
Professionally Developed
Just wanted to give you a preview of what Monday, October 23 will look like for professional development.
We will be at Parma that day. Heather Holshoe will be working with K-2 teachers and then 3-5 teachers a half-day at a time. She will be covering instructional strategies and tying those strategies to grade level standards.
The other half day will be for teachers to meet in grade levels to discuss timely topics (Common Assessments, Words Their Way, Pacing, Reader's or Writer's Workshop, etc...). Part of that time will also be spent with Alaina Sharp, who we have asked to speak with you about the maker carts we have available for teacher use.
So, it looks like 1/2 day math, 1/2 day grade level meetings (with Alaina having some of that grade level time).
Hope you enjoy a relaxing weekend! Thanks for working so hard to put our students in position to be successful!
* Support staff do not have PD that day. All support staff had two previous PD's earlier this quarter.
* If you missed it, Mrs. Brugger and her class put on a Michigan Breakfast for families last week. The turnout was terrific and it was a nice changeup to the norm.
* Last week I had a video conference with Move This World. The data points to most classrooms using it on a regular basis. I continue to encourage you to utilize this as a daily tool. We all know that real, sustainable change takes time and dedication. There is no magic wand or silver bullet.
* This Wednesday during our PLC time Elissa Talsma is coming to Warner to work with ALL teachers on the changes to Powerschool. This is in an effort to help you be prepared for report cards. Please meet in Mrs. Nash's room by 2:45pm for this training.
