Upcoming Lab Days
I'd like to give you a heads up on some dates on some upcoming lab opportunities because they're coming up quickly. The district's next lab focus will be a chance to dive deeper in small group work and discuss another structure to meet students' needs - strategy groups.
This is a great next step for our building in continuation of our conversations during data days and PD about needs based groupings. Follow up labs will continue in the fall, along with the lab opportunities you expressed interest in from the survey results. Please look for a follow up email from Michelle with more details.
Here are lab dates for Murphy, Schickler, and Turrill teachers to come together as a group:
Monday, April 30
- K - am
- 1st - pm
Tuesday, May 22
- 5th - am
- 4th - pm
Next Young Scholars Assembly
#TurrillTough means...
We think that each one of us is strong individually but we are even stronger when we work together.
Did you know that our third graders this year are going to be growing cabbage. Yes...cabbage...and they're going to have the chance to earn $1,000 in scholarship money if their's grows to be the largest head of cabbage in the state. Cool!
But even better...they will all have the chance to grow their cabbage to donate to our local food pantry, Stone Soup, next fall when we get back to school. Their efforts will benefit people in our community and hopefully help them see that we are all a part of our community and can do things to help make it better!!
That's being Turrill Tough!!
