A Few PD Items for Thought:
A Video on Inquiry-Based Learning: Developing Student-Driven Questions
- Through inquiry, this model school works to ignite passion, inspire relevance, and develop ownership in their students. Using student inquiries and questions as guidance, teachers develop lessons that engage and excite, teaching their students to be active thinkers rather than passive learners.
- Are you looking for some new books to read? Check out this list. There is an education-related choice, an encouragement-related choice, a reflection choice, and so on (so not all teacher books)
Book Fair:
A HUGE thanks to Michelle Parikh for her efforts and all of the volunteers that helped to make this such a huge success.
Helping Hands Campaign
WOW! I am absolutely amazed at the generosity of our Concord Families. Our Helping Hands campaign has come to an end. Over the last month, students have collected food, cleaning items, and giving tree items. We have 21 families who will benefit from this amazing endeavor.
In addition, the following school wide events raised funds for gift cards for AmerenUE and grocery gift cards for our 21 families.
Jingles for Jammies: $1,200.00
Wacky Hair Day: $448.00
Winter Festival Teacher Raffle: $409.00
Proceeds from Winter Festival: $1,700.00
A huge thank you to Jennifer Abercrombie, Erica Hoffman, and Carissa Krupski and their team for all of the organization, time, and effort that was put into this event.
Gentle Reminder:
If you use a Concord classroom after school for girl scouts or boy scouts, please be sure you put things back how they were. Please do not use the classroom supplies. Additionally, if any snacks are served, be aware that children with allergies use this space too so you should wipe tables down afterwards. Thank you for helping us to keep our learning spaces clean.
