Learning and Leading Like CHAMPIONS- Quote of the Week
A Noteworthy Tweet
WHS Staff Spotlight:
This is Kristin Paasch's 17th year at WHS. She enjoys spending time with her family, attending concerts, and reading.
Some of Kristin's favorites include:
Song- "You and Me" by Dave Matthews
Food- Mexican food
Movie- Father of the Bride because I love the story line.
Personal Hero: My mom is my hero. She is the kindest, most selfless, hard working person I know.
Finally, Heather believes, "I believe that every child can learn. It is up to teachers and staff to find ways to help every child reach their full potential."
Factile
I went to an awesome session on Formative Assessments at the ICE conference. If you haven’t figured it out already, I love bringing any type of game into the classroom and use it for reviewing material and formative assessments. Factile is new and takes the idea of a jeopardy game to a whole new digital level. Below are some links to get you started and as always feel free to contact me if you need any help or more information!
