Monday, March 9th

We have an opportunity to inspire students to think critically about Time.  Daylight savings is a fact, how we feel about it today is different than how we feel about it in June.  Being a citizen requires us to consider not only others perspectives, but our own.  

This weekend I was asked to help solve a problem with household electronics and reflected upon our responsibility to assist students with conceptual understanding.  Please frame your math lessons for the 8 standards of mathematical practice.

We will have a solution for Yellow Bus delays after we hear from the remainder of our PLT groups Wednesday.  

Enjoy the week!

We are being asked by SMO to identify areas that need their custodial attention.  Before you leave today, zip me an e-mail with kind, specific and helpful feedback.  I will forward each message to the SMO supervisors and we can assess their response.

Enjoy the weekend!
