PVE Welcome Back from Fall Break!
Monday, October 26th, 2015
Checking in as we restart
I hope this past week was very rewarding for each of you. I look forward to connecting and seeing you around campus this week!
My family and I had a very good week. We had a quick overnight trip to Cincinatti which included a museum trip, a visit to Jungle JIm's International grocery and visit to a cattle farm. It was followed by a remaining fun and busy week working on our own farm.
As we check in and look at our calendar upon this return from break, we will encounter what I consider to be the fastest movement through the calendar (today marks one day until Thanksgiving). As you fall back to the routine of school, we will have 22 days until Thanksgiving Break. These days will include such time accelearator events such as Veterans Day and Beast Feast. The calendar gives us a short run to winter break this year with just 15 returning school days until we break for winter. Personally, my calendar is full and busy with both extended observations and supporting our new initiatives as we move quickly to the mid year break. I personally love this time of year and these fun and busy days!!
Speaking of fun, our social planning team for PVE has a possible opportunity for fun this coming Thursday after school! Look for more information soon....:)
News and Notes Around School
Below you will find a quick read from an Education Week article on feedback. It is worth your time and a quick review. We will reference this read in our next staff meeting. As I work throught extended observations, I will often ask "what would you like me to look for specifically or in what area that you hope to grow in?" during the pre obseration meeting...and many of mention feedback and development in complexity of questioning. This is a surface level article that helps us start a continual conversation in this area.
Around our campus, we have noticed some of our doors are not quite shutting as the weather changes. As you depart a door please ensure the door closes or give a quick pull behind you. This is especially important if you happen to visit on the weekend.
