Pinkston PREP
Week of December 10
Message from Mr. Perla
Team,
I apologize for getting this to you so late. I decided to take the weekend off and focus on rejuvenating for the final push. Please ensure you read the calendar and information below regarding grades for the first semester.
I hope you all are enjoying our 12 days of Christmas celebration. The treats are from donations from our parents or from your little elves. We appreciate everything you do for our students and would like to send you off the right way.
This is our last push in ensuring mastery for our students. Please take advantage of the last two days of instruction.
Remember that this week we are hosting our awards assemblies. Ensure you call home to notify the parent of the student receiving your award to attend on designated day. Please call the parents of your content recipients to ensure attendance.
Together We Succeed!
Please post your lesson plans on the new google drive folder. You can access the folder HERE!
Reminders:
Be present in the hallways
Upload lesson plans by Sunday 12:00 PM
Review the calendar for pertinent dates and commitments
Teacher of the Week
Ms. Moreno is our teacher of the week. Ms. Moreno demonstrated an effective lesson plan to peers during our Demo Lesson Derby kickoff. Your lesson received many praises from your colleagues because it included the framework and had several CIF protocols embedded. Thank you for being courageous and modeling effective implementation of the framework to our new teachers.
TOGETHER WE SUCCEED!
