Concord Team-
I know the times before a break can be quite trying. Our students are feeling the need to be outside as the weather changes (as are we) and our patience can be low. Take a moment this weekend to recharge and refocus. We can do this! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to support you and your students.
Farmers Club Update: This is a big change….Lindbergh is now partnering with the Farmers Club for parking so we no longer have the ability to just park at their facility. We need to notify them ahead of time. I have been asked to create a list for next year. This means that I will need to know ahead of time when you are inviting parents onto the campus for grade level events such as author celebrations, expert fairs, genius projects, etc. As a grade level, please email me any events for the remainder of the year that you might be planning as well as next year.
Revised MAP schedule: Here is our revised MAP schedule. Please be sure to take a look because we made several switches including a later start date. Thanks!
Copy Center reminder: Please remember to to use the Copy Center any time you are making copies. It is most economical and saves our copy machines from an early death.
Laminating reminder: Please remember to only laminate those items that are necessary. We are using an extensive amount of laminating materials this year.
Last call for Teacher of the Year and Support Staff Person of the Year: Nominations due to the office by this Friday, March 18th. PLEASE consider nominating someone!
Paperslides: Check out this link to help you understand what a paperslide video is all about. This is is a great technique to create a quick video to create, share, and reflect on content. This video was created by a group of middle school students at Sperreng. It is EPIC....
This blog post has some cool ideas about using photographs to teach Close Reading. The idea is that students are encouraged to look closely at an image without being told what to see. What do you see in the image below? Post a comment in response to this blog post.
Feel free to share this movie with your students. How does it connect with the habit “Begin with the End in Mind?”
A special thank you to our Dads of Concord on a wonderful Daddy/Daughter Dance. Here is a link to the pictures.

ReplyDeleteI picture him singing "I believe I can fly!"
ReplyDeleteWhew! It makes me think about how many germs that kid is going to come in contact with!
ReplyDeleteTK jumpin' off a cliff because right in the middle of the Spring Musical, a dumb Poke'mon card fell out a one of her student's pocket - seriously? Ban Poke'mon at Concord.

ReplyDeleteHow fun to use pictures like these to teach students to look closely at details. Thinking primary source documents would work well for this too. You can learn so much through pictures!

the boy is having fun even through difficulties!
ReplyDeleteAll of you are such deep thinkers:) I was going to say the boy is soaring from one pile of old clothes to another pile.
ReplyDeleteI can do better!
