Pinkston PREP
Week of October 29
Message from Mr. Perla
Thank you for your efforts in implementing the CIF this week. I conducted classroom observations to assess and provide you with objective data. Please review the data from the observations.
As you are planning your lessons, be intentional about embedding opportunities for students to have meaningful conversations with each other. In order to achieve this, you must ask the right questions.
I will continue to visit classrooms to observe the implementation of our framework.
Please post your lesson plans on the new google drive folder. You can access the folder HERE!
Reminders:
- Be present in the hallways
- Upload lesson plans by Sunday 12:00 PM
- Upload Grades to Unified Classroom
- This is a 5 week Six Weeks.
- Review the calendar for pertinent dates and committments
Teacher of the Week
Ms. Hippensteel
Ms. Hippensteel is a ray of sunshine! She is always positive and eager to help. Her kids adore being in her class because of her positive attitude and her sense of humor. She is hard working and stays late to ensure she is available to any and all of her students. We appreciate your dedication to our Pinkston scholars and the positive vibe you bring to our staff.
