Staff Highlights

Each week, the deans will highlight great things that members of their teams are doing to generate ideas and best practices amongst colleagues.

I know that all of you are doing amazing and creative things and I cannot wait to share them in the upcoming weeks.

Kudos to the intervention team for sending a communication to all intervention students.  This communication included activities by grade level for reading and math that don’t need specific materials but will help students’ minds stay fresh.  In addition, they divided all the students up and created a schedule to reach out to each student at least once a week.  Nice work!

All of second grade is using Google Classroom for their virtual learning.  The teachers have done a nice job including all content areas!  For Science they post pictures of the growth of plants that they planted prior to the school closure. They are integrating writing daily by providing various journal topics, including cross curricular content.  Moral Focus read alouds are posted with discussion questions to follow.  They have signed their classes up for various academic sites such as Quizizz, Epic, and Prodigy.  I love that they share Good News daily providing that personal connection! I am included in each classroom and can leave messages as well!  So many amazing things to share!

Tracy sends out a weekly newsletter with information about math lessons in Google classroom. She is creating math videos to teach the students how to do the problems. Tracy is also having her students do activities in Magnahigh, prodigy and Dreambox.

Emma created an Art Bingo card for each grade level wing K-2, 3-5 and Middle school. The Bingo card has art ideas the students can do outside or inside. Emma also created a classroom Instagram account were students can send pictures of the art projects they have created.
