Busy Bee Leader Board
See the Good. See the Need. See the Whole. See the Possible.
Leaders of Learning
This week's nominees:
Kim Brannon: I would like to nominate Ms. Kim as a leader of the week. Kim goes above and beyond her duties every day. She has taken care of my class pets over intersession, and many other things that ate not necessarily in her job description. She also has a good relationship with students and staff. She does it all with a smile and positive attitude!
Lisa Michno, Tammie Earhart, Golanda Hamlin, Susie Mumper: I would like to nominate my team as leaders. My team works hard! These ladies support each other, share ideas, information, and work as a cohesive team to further each others teaching craft and learning.
Sue Clay: I would like to nominate Sue Clay. ADS did not have an adult in the cafeteria at dismissal time on Thursday and Mrs. Clay offered to watch the students so we could take our bus riders out.
Making our Hive Thrive
K- Teachers collaborated to find ways to incorporate anchor charts.
1st- A teacher had students actively engaged in a vocabulary skill with eyes on text.
A teacher was using technology to engage students in a phonics activity.
2nd- Teachers collaborated about ways to design literacy assignments that increase time with eyes on text.

My Blog
This week, I shared a blog post with Jennifer Beck. I was actually introducing her to this really cool website that was recommended to me and I used my post to experiment with the website. You will find the link to that website in the next section of the newsletter. Anyway, as I shared this with her she invited me to share it with you. So...this is me being a risk taker and sharing my thoughts with all of you. I hope you enjoy. :)
