- Falcon Express articles are due to Mrs. Olstein next Wednesday. Every grade level must submit an article.
- We will be receiving a visit from Aurelia Chis of Senator Bill Nelson's office next Friday in the cafeteria in honor of National School Lunch Week.
- Cool site shared by Mrs. Gronsky - http://learnzillion.com/ Great videos relating to the Common Core. Perhaps you could have students preview a video before you introduce a new concept or you could use them to reinforce what you have already taught.
- Data chats follow-up: I remain very impressed with the level of conversation that has taken place and teachers' knowledge of our students. The focus for our next chats will be to answer the following questions: What have you put in place to meet your students' needs? Have those strategies worked? How do you know? What will you do next?
- Writing sample feedback - It is great to see that we have our
students writing on a regular basis. In order to have some consistency
with what we are seeing, I think that it is important that you include a
copy of the rubric that you use to score your writing. I also think
that writing gives the perfect opportunity to provide constructive
feedback. Two examples of good feedback that I saw came from Mrs.
Nocera and Ms. Szpak. They both stated specifically on their students'
papers what the students did well and also how they could improve.
They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know.
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world."
