ANNOUNCEMENTS
Welcome Mr. Avelar!
Way to go STEAM club!!
A special shout-out to Mrs. Gibb, leader of the STEAM club and Mr. E. who brought in his friend from the Walt Disney Company who works in the online games division to speak with our students. The students were so engaged and had an awesome opportunity to ask Mr. Alex Beckers questions about Disney engineering! I'm so proud of the collaboration taking place here!

Buczek's Tentative Schedule
Student of the Month
Tolerance refers to an attitude of openness and respect for the differences that exist among people. Tolerance means respecting and learning from others, valuing differences, bridging cultural gaps, rejecting unfair stereotypes, discovering common ground, and creating new bonds. Tolerance, in many ways, is the opposite of prejudice.
Here is a link to the google doc:
Instructional Focus - Cognitive Level of Student Learning Experiences (3.2B)
1) Are learning experiences differentiated to meet the needs of all learners?
2) Have you addressed the necessary accommodations needed to meet the needs of students with special needs ? (Are we in compliance for those specifically with IEPs?)
3) Do these experiences align to the objective/standard?
Supervision Reminder
We are still looking for extra help on the yard (major shout-out to those of you who have already volunteered!) A few reminders for when you're on watch:
- Be super VISIBLE (walk around, stay standing, avoid being hidden by students coming to speak to you)
- Be super VIGILANT (really look around, walk over to groups of students that are huddled in the far corners of the yard, walk past the bathrooms several times, and please no cell phone use during supervision).
