Coach Justin will begin working with classes on Monday, August 27th. When is your scheduled time? Check the schedule here. Justin will be in the Staff Room on Monday, between 12:00 and 12:30 to answer any of your questions.
FYI - On a related note, H&SC will be reaching out to parents for PE support while we are still trying to secure a second person from Recess 101 or another organization. They are considering a workshop model (one activity over a few sessions/weeks) as opposed to SPARK.
Global Read Aloud was started in 2010 with the goal of connected classrooms around the world through books. It is a wonderful program that will provide an opportunity for you to remove the walls from your classroom to enjoy and discuss books with another class. A number of AV teachers have participated over the years, but if you'd like to learn more about Global Read Aloud, check out their website at https://theglobalreadaloud.com. Interested? Let Cathy know if you need the books appropriate to your grade level. Reach out to Mary Fran for help connecting with a classroom.

If you are participating in Global Read Aloud, I would love to help you to find a partner school for the project. Send me an email so that we can find a time to get things started.SEESAW
Back to School Night is the perfect time to introduce your families to SeeSaw so that you can use it as communication tool throughout the year. If you would like help setting up an account or just need some helpful hints about the best way to use it -- let me know.
