ED CAMPOS MATH PD OPPORTUNITY
On October 11th, Ed Campos will be leading a professional development session on math strategies. He will be bringing back to all strategies to engage student in math discourse such as 3 ACT, 360 and Number Talks. We'd love to have a few people from Team Alta Vista attend and share the strategies with the rest of us. The PD will held at the district office in the media center beginning at 8:30. The day will conclude around 3:00 and you will have time for breaks and lunch. Please let Cathy know if you would like to attend.
TEACHER ADVENTURE IDEAS FORM
The Home and School Club is planning to solicit donated adventures from businesses to offer as Teacher Adventures. The H&SC will cover the cost of you and the students who win your teacher adventure auction to participate in these adventures. They would like to get your input and ideas about your preferred adventures. Thanks to Nikki and Liz for creating this form to share ideas with HSC. Please fill it out by Monday.
