Bronco Blast
August 28th Weekly Staff Newsletter by: Kimberly Kindred
A newsletter? Say whaaat?
I will be sending out a similar blast to our West parents. One section on the parent newsletter that will be different from ours will be "Dinner time conversations". I am hoping to provide parents some "dinner time" questions they can ask their students about their classes and what they have been studying that week. I will send out a google form asking for 1 teacher from each grade level subject area to reply with 1-2 questions for the newsletter.
A note from Kimberly
With starting so late in the school year, there are lots of things that I am trying to catch up on. If you get an email from me asking about something specific, I am probably checking through a list of items. Some of you have experienced this already! :) Please be patient with me as I learn about you, the school, and our procedures and policies.
I hope everyone takes the time to enjoy family this weekend, rest a bit, and be happy in the fact that we made it! To me, nothing is more important than supporting teachers, loving students, and being loyal to one another.
Kimberly :)
Just for fun...a cute video below.

SAMR
I know most of you are familiar with SAMR. I have included the picture below. Spend some time this week reflecting on your technology integration goals for the year, using technology in your lesson plans, and how they fit into the SAMR model. I will always be a thought partner for you along with all of our technology staff and administrative team here on campus.
