Week of 1-14-19
Second Full Week!
I think last week seemed shorter than the 3-days prior to that. However, as Melissa will tell you, we have a super wolf blood moon coming this weekend (on the 20th) that may make this week interesting! Based on the few emails I already received this morning, super wolf blood moon fun has begun!
NWEA continues this week. Please help our upper elementary students test smoothly by making sure ALL laptop cart computers are returned to the cart for charging each day. We were missing some laptops last week as teacher scrambled to supplement with classroom and additional white laptops.
There is a PTO meeting TONIGHT at the Hamlin on 25 Mile and VanDyke. Mike DeLorenzo is coming as a Morgan teacher. All teachers are always welcome to attend if you can make it. The nachos there are really good!!
Phase II paperwork is supposed to be completed and sent to me by January 31. Phase II is a reflection on student progress toward the learning goals established in the fall. If you need additional time, due to NWEA results, please send me and email so I know about the delay. Feedback from me will be provided after the mid-winter break.
Reflecting guiding questions are listed below. Questions, please let me know.
Have a good week!
