Dear Team,
Just a few updates from last week.
-We've had to cancel LivBits assembly due to travel issues and are working to reschedule.
-ELA NWEA will be happening this week
-Staff Meeting this Wednesday 3:35-4:35
A few shout outs:
- 8th grade team greatness challenge--thank you for looking for a couple students each that may be falling between the cracks and focusing on ensuring that they don't.
- Hands on science labs--check out the Twitter for the labs happening in all three grade levels last week!
- Scavenger Hunts and Old Man Math--ask Beebs and Maggie all about these engaging lessons!
- So much more to celebrate, but wanted to do a few highlights. Feel free to shout out on our #fmsteach hashtag. Keep rocking it!
Have a great week!!
Sincerely,
Beth and Erica
PD Feature for the Month: The Twitter Chat
What is a Chat?
The chat I'm highlighting today is the #tlap chat tonight. It is from 8-9pm CST and the topic is Creatively Productive by Lisa Johnson (@TechChef4U) She hosted #LeadLAP this past Saturday and I was blown away by the tools and tricks she shared to make me more productive, in fun ways. Super cool way to connect with authors without leaving the comfort of you laptop.
Want to do a chat but not sure how? Just check in with a teammate, because many of our #fmsteach team has either led or taken part in a chat.
Why Chat? For me it has been about the connections I've made with those that join the chat as well as seeing different viewpoints from colleagues around the globe.
Happy Chatting!!
