Patriot Pride
Nov 18 - Dec 2
5 Days #Thankful
Through the next few weeks remaining for the Fall semester, we will focus on Student Agency and really how we can encourage and facilitate student voice in their learning, work, and school community. Please continue to dialogue with colleagues about how to increase our IB PYP program through student agency in curriculum, projects, classroom environment, and culture/community lessons.
We have only 5 days left of November. When we return after Thanksgiving Break, we will be in December and focusing intensely on ACPs and closing our the semester.
There are a few teachers left I will be meeting with this week to finish all Teacher Chats. If we have not met yet, please schedule a time to meet by Wednesday if at all possible.
Scholar Chats have begun and will be completed before the week is over for 3rd through 5th grade students.
Calixto's and my goal is to complete all required Spot Observations for this semester before we leave for Thanksgiving break.
If you would like to volunteer to facilitate a PD for January 6th, please let me know by Wednesday. I will be creating the PD Agenda on Thursday and Friday.
Thank you for what you do,
Vincent
Onward!
