Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Students respectfully discussing two sides of an issue - the class was divided into both sides (no matter personal opinions) and given time to come up with points to make.
*Intense engagement with an Imposter version of Gimkit to review and then continued playing into lunch...don't you love it when they're practicing what they know while having fun?!
*Staff helping each other by covering classes to help make sure everyone could get vaccines.
*Our first ever virtual (and hopefully only virtual) Bandorama with great music and student speakers. Check it out HERE.
Upcoming Events:
Tuesday - HS ACT exam (only juniors in the high school).
***Middle school teachers - please know there will be NO bells, aside from the 7:45, 7:50 and 2:40, 2:50 bells. *Set iPad alarms or something if you're like me and would need the alarms for each class period. :)
*If any middle school classes take students down by the SDC, please make sure classes are quiet, due to accommodation testing in conference rooms.
7/8th hours for ms electives should be good to go as normal.
Workout Wednesday - NO faculty meetings
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Just a reminder to make parent contacts for any students that are slipping in grades/failing. We did not have parent/teacher conferences, so it is important to make sure that parents are aware so they can help support.
Blogs, Quotes & Tweets:
*Finish Strong: Bell to Bell - what's your score?
And some humor found in a list of teacher Instagram posts that had me laughing after this week...those of you visited by the bluejeans bomber will see it right away!
