News & Info @ Alta Vista
In the past, the meetings/trainings scheduled on the first Wednesday of the month were called "Principal Wednesdays". This year, we're re-branding them with a new name - AV Collaboration Meeting. On September 5th, we'll have a meeting to discuss the structure of this time and plans for the year. It will be a short meeting to allow you time to complete the required "Mandated Reporter" training video. If you've already completed it before 9/5, the time after our meeting is all yours.
Global Read Aloud begins on October 1st. In order to allow enough time to order the books, please let Cathy know by Wednesday if you will be participating. You can also reach out to Mary Fran for help in connecting with another classroom. So far, we are excited to have Cheryl, Caryn, Michelle H., Susan and Julia representing Alta Vista in this worthwhile project.
ELA IN ACTION
So many of our district initiatives focus around supporting ELA instruction, that over the next few weeks, I would love to see ELA in action. Please fill out this quick form to let me know when you are teaching ELA. Thanks!
RHYTHM & MOVES
Our Rhythm & Moves instructor is named Pedro Mustafa. He will introduce himself to the students next week, but they will be calling him Mr. Mustafa or Mr. M. The first sessions will take place on the intermediate playground. Depending on the game, future classes may take place on the upper field.
