Weekly Reflections
Keeping the main thing, the main thing, the main thing....
Focus of the week: Homecoming
Last week was a great week. I really enjoyed our professional learning. It was rich with full healthy discussions on data. Although homecoming is this week, we still have to remember to keep the main thing, the main thing, the main thing....and that is teaching and learning. Please know that we will still come by to observe, so please continue to teach. Also, we will be revisiting our intervention period and keeping things to the fundamentals so that we can totally reach each child. I am looking forward to a great week. Please feel free to wear jeans this Friday if you'd like. It would be nice to see you at our activities this week. If you can, please dress in your spirit gear and please find one event this week that you can support. I appreciate your movement towards excellence.
#ALLthewayUP!
Glows:
1. Great data conversations
Grows:
1. Teaching with rigor all period long.
2. Addressing cell phones and dress code in class.
Thanks so much!
