Beckopoly
Beckopoly is one of our most popular events at Beck Elementary! It provides an opportunity for our students to showcase their business talents as they create, market, and sell a product or service to their peers and community. This year, we are working on partnering with the Business Academy at Eaton High School to provide real world experiences for our students. Students interested in participating should complete the business proposal that was sent home and return no later than Jan. 10th. Beckopoly will be held on Jan. 24th from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Sharing Our Story
Have you checked out one of our Bulldog Blogs yet? If not, you are missing out on hearing about the amazing learning experiences your child(ren) are having each day here at Beck. With the release of the "what if" A-F ratings by TEA yesterday, it is even more important to understand that our learning goes beyond a simple grading system or standardized test. Please take a moment to visit your child's teacher's webpage to access their blog. You can access my Blog at http://truebluesightings.blogspot.com/ Also, please know that you are always invited to visit our classrooms.
The Happiness Advantage
When we returned from Christmas break and I had an opportunity to have the whole staff for professional development, I wanted to set the tone of refocusing our efforts and creating an healthy organization. Naturally that included a reflection on progress towards our academic goals, and instructional design, however we also focused on having healthy minds. I shared with them a book that was given to me by our Assistant Superintendent that really hit home with me called the Happiness Advantage. Take a look at the video below from the author.
