Announcements/Information
- It was great to hear the celebrations we had in our building last week!! Thank you Treadway and Jennings for sharing with the staff the wonderful things happening around our building.
- Dr. Teeter sent out a message last week about "learning walk-throughs". I wanted you to be aware that this will take place on Wednesday, September 20th in the afternoon for WMS. We are excited to see all the wonderful things you do for kids!!
- Make sure to look at the Leadership Expo schedule. It will take place on Friday, September 15th. The schedule is located in the staff folder to view.
- Leadership Expo: ACTION class teachers you can set up after school on Thursday for the Expo. This will make it a A LOT less stressful the day of the Expo! As far as set up, you will be in charge of any items you will need for your display. Each booth will be marked with a sign on a band stand. The stand will be in the middle of your booth and you can have 5 feet either side of it for your display. We will be keeping close track of the time because the schedule is tight so be ready with a 1 min 50 second pitch or less. The students will have 10 seconds to rotate to their next booth. When they switch gyms they will have 2-3 minutes to move to the other gym location. So be sure and let your kids know there will be no diddle time.
- We will have visitors in your building from Lockwood during the Expo day to see the wonderful things you are doing with our students!!
- ACTION class teachers: Amelia and I will be offering planning sessions for ACTION class on September 19 & 26 after school until 3:30. This is for anyone interested in ideas on how to build community in your ACTION class and then move into how to plan through a PBL framework. We will offer several sessions throughout the year.
