Tuesday - Faculty Meeting - Optional
Differentiated instruction can be demonstrated by modifying the content (what is being taught), the process (how it is taught) and the product (how students demonstrate their learning). This type of planning is also aligned with LEAD 2021 as we work to personalize learning for all students.
If you remember last year our TTESS data showed that we have an opportunity to refine our skills in differentiation so we will have a short meeting to share ideas that you are using in your classroom. So bring an idea to share with your table group!
Tuesday - Spring Creek
The sign up sheet is in Margaret's office!
Wed. October 18th
We will lay out all of the lost and found items in the foyer. Please take your students by the items and check to see if they are missing anything.
We will donate the leftover items!
Thurs. October 19th
PLC's in the PD Room
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
It is NOT too late!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and with your donation of five or more dollars to the Susan G. Komen Foundation you may wear jeans with a PINK shirt or SLE spirit shirt on all four Tuesday's! (We have two left!)
I will have a place in the teacher's lounge where you can donate!
If you would like your donation to go to the American Cancer Society or St. Jude Hospital, you can designate that on your check. All of these organizations are doing their part on the journey to end all types of cancers.

Eduphoria
Eduphoria Update: This past week the GCISD technology department along with Eduphoria did an upgrade and migration of the overall Eduphoria system. This brings GCISD to the latest level of support and the top level of performance that Eduphoria provides.
With that, the address to access Eduphoria updated slightly. The technology team has updated the links on the district website, as well as within Classlink; however, if anyone had created a desktop shortcut themselves this will need to be updated as well.
If you hear of anyone having issues getting into Eduphoria please direct them to the link on the district website or https://eduphoria.gcisd.net/authdistrict/login.
