Friday Focus - March 20, 2015


Events Next Week:
Tuesday - grade level PLC mtgs cancelled (due to several other absences requiring subs)
Wednesday - the Effectiveness Project training is being rescheduled (due to me needing further end of year SLO information to share with you)
Thursday - spring Picture day (optional for students)
-last day for students to bring Art fundraiser orders

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Spring has sprung (kind of)...this means that kids don't need time to bundle up to get outside and that WE ALL need to get out to recess duty on time. 5 minutes late in the winter wasn't a big deal, because most kids were still getting all their gear on, but 5 minutes late now and the kids are all outside and we need eyes out for supervision.

*What have you implemented in your classroom from last month's High Impact Instruction chapter? What Guiding Questions (ch 2) have you been asking your students and how has that helped the learning process? What new questioning strategy have you implemented after reading chapter 6? Or if you read chapter 11, how have you looked at the relationships and learning differently in your classroom and how has that impacted the teaching/learning happening? I'd love for you all to add comments below in this post (if you're reading in email you'll have to go to johnsonmemo.blogspot.com)

Just a reminder that our next book study discussion will be on (don't procrastinate until the day before and forget your book at school!):
Group 1: chapter 3 Formative Assessment
Group 2: chapter 7 Stories
Group 3: chapter 12 Freedom within Form

Blogs, Tweets and Pins...Oh My!
*Mid March Madness with iPads in Kindergarten (although interesting to see in all grades what these kindergartner's are doing!)
Need a picture for Bootcamp strategies? This one caught my eye:
