Friday Focus - May 8, 2015


Great Things I Noticed This Week:

  • Our wheelchair bound 4th grader couldn't go on the field trip to the farm this week, but she was facetimed in and didn't miss the experience!
  • Students "buddy buzzing" to share with a partner the most interesting thing they learned. 
  • Students playing "Scoot" to practice solving different types of problems before their unit math test: there was a card at each desk with a different problem. Students rotated or "scooted"around to each desk 6 different times to solve each problem for review, but also getting to move at the same time. What a great way to practice or review different concepts (maybe math facts, vocab, social studies facts, etc.) in a fun way while getting movement!

Events Next Week:
Monday - Elementary Staff Meeting (bring High Impact Instruction)
Tuesday - Grade Level PLC Meetings
   FFA Petting Zoo (sign up for times is in the mail room)
   3:15 Meeting for new health insurance
Thursday - I'll be on my personal day to join the 4K field trip as mom ;)

Dates for down the road...

*Just a reminder that if you ever forget or misplace the date, just go back to www.johnsonmemo.blogspot.com and the calendar is on the right side of the website for you.

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
  • Please bring iPads to the Grade Level PLC meetings. Ms. Abegglen will be joining each grade level to talk about Digital Citizenship curriculum for our students for next year, that will include some ongoing learning for you over the summer before the next school year (don't worry...it's fun homework!).  This should not take the entire time, so please bring any other curriculum/lesson planning that your team needs to do. 
  • This is a busy time for Mrs. Jaeckel--summer school registration, open enrollment, lots of tedious paperwork. Please keep this in mind as you ask for help with busy work; she will likely not be able to get it done "speedy Gonzeles" style (she'll need a couple days notice likely).
Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!
