Hello everyone!! What a fantastic Homecoming week! Thank you to everyone who helped out, Katie and the student council for the organization, and all the students who made it a great week. There is something about getting everyone in the together that makes the experience so special. When I walked in gym I say 3 seniors at the scorer's table waving and smiling at elementary kids on the other side. I tried to snap a few pics quick, but none captured the joy in the eyes of both set of students. It was incredible.
- Goal revisions are in and you should have heard from me regarding the status of your goal. If not, please connect with me right away.
- Tuesday and Wednesday of this week we will be going through Teachscape and WI Educator Effectiveness training. Those on rotation 1 will have a chance to get everything into their Teachscape module and learn a little more about the process of EE.
- Going to keep this in for awhile...If you did not receive an invite to the Google+ page from let shoot me an email. I tried to get as many people as possible while I was at Google Tech Academy last week. The Google+ community is open only to our staff...I am hoping it turns into a place where we can share articles, great ideas, and/or things going on in your classroom. Here is the link... https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106247918310540095234. If you can not get in let me know...it means you will need a Google+ page or an invite. Either way it is a quick fix.
- Parent/Teacher Conferences are under a month away....November 10 and 13. Just a heads up as it will be here before we know it.
- Thanks to those who have provided feedback on the insurance survey. That data will drive discussions for the group moving forward. Much appreciated.
- Here is a link to some pics from Friday. Great day all around... https://www.flickr.com/photos/fallcreekcrickets/sets/72157648629310325/
- We have been throwing the idea around of having a Cricket Store where we could have FC gear on hand and/or things made by our students (keychains, blankets, etc). If you have any suggestions in how to get that rolling, please let me know.
- October is connected educator month. Here is a link to a list of activities happening (some physical, but most virtual) if you are interested. http://connectededucatormonth2014.sched.org/
Did They Really Say That?
Send me your quotes!!!!
This week in Tweets...
All of our #gocrickets tagged tweets can be archived...this is a great way to tell the stories happening in your classroom. The idea of telling your story before someone tells it for you is a really key element in getting the word out about the wonderful things happening in your classroom. If everyone with a Twitter account here posted 2 positive tweets per week we would have over 100 positive messages about our school out to the public. That number is astounding...and just by taking a minute to shout out a great thing happening in your space. Add @fccrickets in the tweet and use the #gocrickets hashtag after a tweet to add to the wonderful story of the Crickets...
