A World Class Conference - STUCO
Can you believe we are in the downhill stretch to Thanksgiving Break(10 more school days, but whose counting)? This past weekend our Student Council and their sponsors got to experience a World Class Student Leadership Conference. The students participated in breakout sessions and team building exercises aimed at building their leadership skills.
Thank you sponsors (Marjan Amiri, Rachelle Gadberry and Carly Glicker for attending with our students.
Important: We have voting at Caraway this week in the Innovation Lab (Tuesday). Please keep a watchful eye on your students as they travel through out the building.
Make it a great week.

Things You will Need This Week
Teaching Tip of the Week - Real Time Data
This great tips comes from classrooms right here at Caraway. In my classroom visits the past few weeks. I have seen many teachers taking informal assessment data as they monitor the students work. Why wait for a formal assessment? Take advantage of teachable moments. You can adjust your instruction based on what you see students doing in the "here and now."
*Do you have a strategy or idea to share? Email it to Katrina by Friday of each.
