For Good - Wicked
What your students say about you...
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

Since we are leading the way on this initiative (THANK YOU) I would love to give you this chance to further develop your practice. We would like one teacher from each school if possible. Your colleagues from Physical Education will join us as well. Interested?? Email me. First come first served.

- K-5 Art teachers please bring your Wiesner book to PD on Tuesday at Brophy
- September 26 PD on Mindfulness- Thank you for your overwhelming interest. We have more teachers than slots available. We will confirm this week. IF you can get internal coverage that would help but if not, we will do our best to get at least one specialist from each building. No one is guaranteed a spot right now.
K-5 Art and Music Teachers
There is no template or google doc. The format is totally up to you. The necessary elements (from this Office and Teaching and Learning) are listed below. Your Principal may certainly add to these as is needed at your school, Most of the information below is on your board every day and your curriculum is on Canvas and included in the links below.
If you need help or guidance or you want to share how you plan to create these- let's talk.
Just FYI- the SEL component is the Character Trait of the Month for example- September is Kindness!
This is simply to be sure we are all proceeding through the scope and sequence at a pace that allows us to get through the map. Please be in touch if you have any questions.
