Grant - The Pepsi grant application is on Google.docs for anyone to edit. Anyone should be able to edit - if you cannot, see me. Please begin to put down your ideas and or improve on other ideas if they are already written down. I would like to submit it the first week of February. After I submit it, we can begin to promote it! **Remember, anyone who gets this memo can help work on the grant - not just those who came to the meeting Wednesday!**
Parent-Teacher Conferences letters were sent home with students Monday and should be returned by Wednesday, January 27. Scheduling with the IPS staff will the same day at 3:45 P.M. in the WIS media center. Please bring with you the information needed for scheduling purposes. I will be at the Iowa Culture and Languge Conference Monday morning through Wednesday afternon of conferences so please schedule any conferences you want me to attend during the week prior or Wednesday/Thursday of conference week. I want to attenda at least one conference with each teacher. Thank you!
Valentine’s Parties are scheduled for after lunch recess on Thursday, February 11. Please begin talking to parents now so they can make plans if they need to be here. See Mr. Haufle for party ideas as this is his favorite holiday of the year.
PLC Update - Thanks to the wonderful weather, our PLC schedule has been changed multiple times. To find the current schedule, visit the Curriculum blog.
Printing - We are printing lots of unnecessary material. Please monitor your own printing and that of your students. Sending students to the lab is great but please do with specific data/information collection tools and directions about what they can and cannot print. Student should also be given specific sites to visit.
Graphic organizers (there are 1000's out there on the web)
My favorite one - an editable word document that forces kids to give credit to the source!
Scheduled your last or only observation with me yet? If not, please do so today.
Iowa Core Curriculum Update - Our ICC team (Gilbert, Allensworth, Sims, Sonntag & Fast) will be meeting several times over the next few months as we continue to learn the state's expectations for the implementation plan due this summer. I have an afternoon planning session this afternoon and a full day Iowa Core meeting on Monday, February 1st. Thank you for your work with the MISIC standards and benchmarks. Our ICC team will be using this data between now and the end of this summer!
