Weekly Memo
November 18, 2018
Team -
The only thing that stands between you and a much deserved break is conferences. You are almost there! This weekend consider these 65 Ways to take care of yourself and create A week of self care in order to prioritize taking care of yourself and getting yourself to break!
My apologies for not getting this out Friday - I took my own advice and as soon as I learned of the snow day I closed my computer and started playing with my children and readying for a day on the mountain. I hope all of you took the much needed time to care for yourself as well.
With gratitude for your partnership!
Meg
Take a look below at what Daryl had out on her tables today - shout out for immediately implementing a tool from yesterday's workshop with Joelle!
TASKS
2. Sticker Reminder- As students are trained on maker tools like WeVideo they should receive a "sticker" that should be placed on their Chromebook a proof that training has successfully been completed. Students can get these from Mrs. Renca in the library who has a spreadsheet containing a list of those who have successfully completed their "test".
