It was a busy day after school on Thursday, Art Club, Newspaper, Book Club, Maker Space, HW Club, Theater Club tryouts, dance & cheer and three basketball games. As a mom told me yesterday "My kids go to the best school!"
The Chess Club Season also started again on Thursday. The new coach is Roy Wolski, a retired teacher and chess coach who will be starting on Nov 7th. Thanks to Joe H for filling in last night.
How to get students to think of their own learning.
Thinking about their own learning
Thanks to Colleen and Alex for working with our student council kids to organize a great Spirit week. There was some great "student" and "teacher" costumes. Hope everyone is ready to jam with the spooky tunes on Friday. This picture is pretty scary...not sure if it's teachers dressed like students or an outtake from the movie "The Warriors" I would not want to meet this group in a dark alley!
I appreciate Angela getting great pictures at all of our events like the fun-run, staff costumes...sporting events to just name a few.
Everyone is capable of setting in motion the mightiest waves of change. Everyone.
I appreciate everyone getting ready and being prepared for parent teacher conferences that start next week. This is an outstanding opportunity to work with parents in a partnership to help students.
Please make sure you follow the directions Danielle sent out for setting up your zoom conference link for November second. Please do not wait until the day of to do this. If you need any help just let me know.
The November 3rd Institute agenda was sent out. Please review the agenda as Dr. Woell will be starting us off after you get breakfast. There will be a building specific agenda sent out soon that will coincide with the district agenda but provide pd options for those of you not in the original sessions.
3 research based ways to take better notes
I want to take a minute to thank all of our teaching assistants: Carrie, Nicolette, Holly, Lori, Michelle S and Michele D, we couldn't do the job that we do everyday without the hard work you put in to help our students (and teachers)!
