Average is OFFICIALLY over!
The close of the nine weeks is near!!
Team Columbia:
I hope your weekend is enjoyable. Don't forget we have a few activities this week that will require students to miss some instruction. Please remember to continue to post assignments to your calendars on ManageBac. Remind students that the nine weeks is coming to a close at the end of the month. All assignments for the nine weeks will be due on September 29.
Please remember to keep up with your grading. Remember, open house is Tuesday.
A new feature of the SMORE Newsletter is that documents can be added. Please see the documents regarding PST and Eagle Hour for you to download.
Also, this week's instructional focus is teacher questioning. Plan higher order thinking questions to ask during your instruction. See the article below.
Have a great week of teaching and learning!!
