April Walk-through Focus: Anchor Charts
After our staff development, our classrooms have really been impacted by the use of Anchor charts. The focus for feedback for the month of April will be on Anchor Charts. We want to continue to make them interactive, allow for students (and teachers) to be a part of creating them, and also refer back to them as a reference for the learning.
CISD Insurance Changes
The district has decided to move from Aetna to United Healthcare. This shouldn't affect the Dr. list too much. only a few changes.
