Week at a Glance
Week of January 11 to 15, 2016
--Nelson Mandela
The focus for 8-9am Power Hour this week is ensuring centers are running smoothly. Teachers may hold small group instruction, if possible. Administrators will walk the building every day during the Power Hour, specifically looking at centers and teacher making needed adjustments to ensure students work independently in the centers.
Teachers who have Morning Announcements, please send students no later than 7:50am every day, so that we don't interrupt 8-9am Power Hour instruction.
