"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Just a reminder that we will be talking about the article "Keeping the Mini back in Mini-Lessons" at the grade level meetings.
*THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! For your flexibility in making guest teacher plans to go to Appleton next week. I know it's not the best timing, but our best chance to see Math Expressions in action before our PD day on the 21st. I appreciate all your hard work in learning with this new math program (and everything else, of course!)
*The WKCE test is officially over, however, I'll still be involved with in completing make-up testing for absent students in grades 3-8/10.
Pins, Blogs, and Tweets...Oh My!
*Just in case you missed this in last week's Daily 5 Tip of the Week Newsletter, go HERE for the personal CAFE menu for students to fill out.
*Video clip on stating the objective at the start of the lesson (I've actually seen similar practices in several classrooms):
