Points of Pride
October 26, 2018
Food for Thought
Celebrations!!!
- Eryn Washington: I asked student what they are learning about and he said “Right now we are learning about adding fractions.”
- Heather Benedetti: I asked student what he was learning about and he said: “We are learning about two digit numbers by two digit numbers.”
- Kimberly Myers-Nuzum: I asked student what they worked on in math today, and he said “math mountains.” I asked him “what do math mountains do?” and he replied “They help us when we don’t know all the numbers.” He knew the objective and why it was relevant!
- I am very thankful for having such a dedicated Intervention Team. We had our first meeting of the year. These ladies go above and beyond their contract time to ensure that all of our student's needs are being met.
New SS/Science Standards
These will not go into effect for a bit (definitely not this year), so relax. They won't be tested in science until the 2021/2022 school year. District will ensure that there is training and resources in the coming years.
Infinite Campus Messaging....
This has been changed by district, and when we send an email, parents will be able to directly reply to you.
Reflection on the Week....
Each week, certified staff will be required to answer the questions that I ask in the attached survey. Classified staff, if you want to do this as well, you are more than welcome.
I don't want this to be seen as "another thing" rather an opportunity to have my attention weekly. This allows me to get into your "thought process" to better coach, and celebrate with you as well.
Here is this week's reflection:
Please complete it by Wednesday.
