AAA News You Can Use-April 4
How People Learn
How do you determine a child's preconceptions before teaching a lesson? What type of feedback do you provide when there is a misconception? How does the assessment of learning insure that it is not just memorization?
How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience and School is a book published by the National Research Council.

Don' Forget and Things To Do!
- Keep mind our wellness plan at all times. Celebration parties are limited to two per year. If there is something your team wants to do, please check the Academy Handbook or with an admin to make sure we are following all guidelines.
- When emailing large groups, especially parents, be sure to use the blind copy tool. This will prevent parents from seeing other email addresses and being able to reply all. If you need help with this tool, check with a teammate or our fabulous tech, Lona Parker.
- Please be on prompt for arrival and dismissal to PE.
- If you haven't already made a contribution to the Sunshine Club, please get with Mrs. Dunn.
