Wow! What another fabulous week! I hope you were able to spend time sharpening the saw this weekend with your family. Take time to rejuvenate and celebrate all of the awesome success you have had in getting the school year started.
Learning Lab Notes: Click here to see a summary of all of the topics we talked about during learning labs this week. Many of you had some really great ideas on how to build your classroom libraries and be able to structure your readers workshop to prepare students for a successful year.
Staff Meeting Agenda: (Tuesday, 7:45 a.m. in the library) Please be sure to bring a charged laptop as we will be working on our PGP’s for the year.
Flyervision: Thanks for your understanding as we work out a few kinks in the system. Lessons learned from today-we will use the Concord page to post daily at 8:45 a.m. and we will try to film right side up on Tuesday.
#goodnewscalloftheday: Possibly one of my new favorite times in the day. The pure joy that is on these children's faces when we call home is so very cool to see. And I love seeing this fire catch on in your classrooms as well. Some teachers are even trying it out in their own classrooms by sending out an individual email each day to praise a student. Positive recognition rocks!
BYOC. Be sure to take a look at BYOC for the current Social Studies curriculum for this year. It will be updated again with the new standards next year.
Mandatory PD...due by 9/30 - All items in the presentation must be completed, including watching all embedded videos. This year, we have embedded the Smarter Adults, Safer Children video within this presentation. Please be sure to play this video in its entirety (it takes about 35 minutes). The remaining parts of the mandatory PD presentation take about 10 minutes in total.
At the end of the presentation, you will find a google form to complete. This will verify that you have completed your mandatory PD for the 2016-17 school year. This must be completed by September 30th.
Great anchor chart for Habit 1:
Are your learning targets current? Are they posted in an accessible place for students? Here are some great resources as you work on posting your learning outcomes. Choosing the correct verb in the “I Can” statements is very powerful.
A special thanks to all of you who stepped in for external pick up to help support this process. I feel things were so much better better when we are able to use the cafeteria for the dismissal process. I really appreciate all of you who stepped in even though it wasn't your duty day.
Please be sure to share this opportunity with parents on your social media pages:
STEM Scouts comes to Concord! This program is a hands-on, fun, and challenging way for youth to learn about STEM and the different career avenues STEM offers. With the new STEM Scouts pilot program, we want to invigorate excitement around STEM knowledge in youth. STEM Scouts is a coed program for youth in 3rd – 12th grade and helps them learn the values of Scouting through immersion in STEM activities. This program is designed to offer a program to students who are interested science, technology, engineering, and math and may not be interested in the typical Scouting program.
Through weekly afterschool meetings using four- to six-week thematic modules that cover a variety of disciplines, STEM Scouts is designed to be fast paced, thought provoking, and fun. The coed program provides a great opportunity for collaboration and gives all youth a chance to develop better STEM understanding and skills.
STEM Scouts is designed to be youth led with adult guidance, teaching youth the inner workings of a lab through fun, interactive modules designed for the perspective age groups. STEM Scouts focuses on showcasing STEM professionals and STEM organizations/companies as partners. If you would like to learn more, please attend an informational meeting with your child on Wednesday, September 14th @ 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria.
