Friday Focus - February 28, 2020


Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Students excited and engaged in their group projects to present to their class. They came up with their choice live presentations or recorded videos in front of the green screen to demonstrate their learning.
*Student groups leading their class in games they created to review their content.
*I was so incredibly proud of how staff pulled together to support one another and support our students this week. I was especially surprised by the students who brought be cards for Mr. Hales's family...students that I didn't even realize had a connection with him. He has definitely left a legacy behind of his positive attitude and kindness for ALL!

Upcoming Events:
Monday - EP training at 3:15 in IMC (on documentation log)
Tuesday - ACT modified schedule. We have had a couple of revisions to the coverage and I will resend out this weekend (although I believe all who have any changes know about them).
Wednesday - NO combined ms/hs faculty meeting - I will be at CESA 6 with 12 high school students and won't be back in time. Please feel free to use the time for curriculum work. 
Friday - consumable order packets due

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*With our referendum signs out I've seen several students/parents taking a look. Please share if you hear any feedback/questions at school or in the community that can help inform our work as we prepare for upcoming open houses in the community.

Tech Tip of the Week:
Schoology PD course is still available for your use. There is a folder labeled Rubrics with videos and tutorials on getting started and/or new ideas on how to use Rubrics in the classroom. Below is a short video on how to get started creating Rubrics, an article with 5 Great Uses for Rubrics that may have some new ideas for you and you can find many more resources: Schoology>Courses>Schoology PD>Rubrics. 



Blogs, Tweets & Quotes:
*Do you ever experience frustration with a certain behavior in your classroom? Like, a pet peeve, that just drives you crazy? There's a chance that you might have a secret rule for yourself. I found this post by Angela Watson extremely insightful: What are your secret rules for how how everyone else should behave?
