Friday Focus - November 1, 2013


Great Things I Noticed This Week:
  • Students searching Internet to find interesting facts about a state and create a prezi to share what they learned.
  • Students using QR codes to get to information about an Explorer they were researching in groups. What was even more exciting was hearing students ask, "Can I search other sites to find more information?"
  • Students searching for facts about the science topic for the day for a few minutes to build their background knowledge before the lesson...students were engaged and excited to share what interesting facts they were finding with their neighbors.
iPad Tip of the Week:
Ok, this isn't just one tip, but it is one teacher's Pinterest board with many different "boards" for different categories of apps. Check it out HERE

*PLEASE BE SILENT IN THE HALLWAYS DURING MORNING WKCE TESTING!!  Also please be aware that 3-5th grades have goofy morning recess schedules due to their testing and may end up outside with different grade levels than normal. Thank you for your flexibility with this and specials schedule changes for WKCE testing.

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:

*Please remember that if you have any student missing a core subject for intervention that you will need to do a manual override and enter a P.
