Back to Normal!
Hopefully winter weather events for the year are past us and we can continue to return to normalcy. Be sure to check out the small winter picture gallery below. We will not reschedule our January Staff meeting. Please be sure to stay on schedule for your Micro Book Study experience. It has been great reading all of the reflections and Aha Moments captured on the #Micro2020 Twitter Chat. We will have our Committee Meetings this week. I am excited to see what our committees have in store over the next few months. I continue to be amazed by the awesome learning experiences that are being provided for our Black Widows. I also know there is much more in store!
Keep making BIG things happen in your classroom!
