Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Students were working together in small groups to read a science article together. Each had a card with prompts to serve as the Predictor, Questioner, Clarifier or Summarizer for group discussion as they learned the content.
*Our student leaders did an incredible job preparing for, leading/presenting at the Veterans Day assembly and then afterwards for the pictures. Their incredible leadership comes from your incredible leadership to prepare them!
*I've subbed in several classrooms that were so well established that students didn't skip a beat of learning, because they knew where they were going next in their learning and they knew what was expected of them. I felt like I could have not even shown up to a few rooms and they would have continued on just as I saw them on their own!
*Our Academic Decathlon team scored the highest they have ever scored at their competition and are now on to Regionals in January!
Upcoming Events:

HS Faculty Meeting - continuing our Grading discussions
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Please do not send students to a vestibule (in between doors area by an exit) to do school work or record videos. This is for safety/security purposes. The collaboration space (in both MS and HS) is an option. Additionally, you can check the IMC schedule with Mrs. Rollins.
*HS Faculty - next week's IEB doc is HERE. Mrs. Johnson will move student names to Mrs. Beaudo's room if they are opted out of the YRBS.
Blogs, Tweets & Quotes:
*The First Key to Connecting Well With Students is to Like Them; This Often Takes Work - The teacher who wrote this brings up a challenging question - when we have a student that seems impossibly behind and impossibly undermotivated, how do we communicate with them about school? The answer is in your control!
