Thanks for your attention during my presentation on two of the HOM, "Listening with Understanding and Empathy" and "Striving for Accuracy". In PST yesterday I was able to see multiple people showing active listening techniques including summarizing what was said and giving counterpoints. Please make a concerted effort to implement any of the 8 HOM in your lesson plans.
Please take a minute to read this important message from Betty about a project we will all be participating in related to a book The Wishing Tree, in connection to both Red Ribbon Week and Character Ed Week.

Melissa, April, and Danielle are all prepping for the start of the musical season and the kick off will officially begin with the announcement today. My guess...The 1988 broadway musical sensation "Carrie" based on the novel by Stephen King!
Jessica brought an expert into her class by using tech to Skype with an ASL interpreter which was connected to a book they read!
Congratulations to Matt T, Matt C, Dan B, Kerry K, Courtney and Bill for successful seasons and best of luck in the Championships/playoffs.
