Thursday MM - Day 5

Good Morning!

Thanks for your attention at the faculty meeting last evening!  I am thrilled to be providing an excellent environment for our EOG week.

A delivery from Sociale Gourmet near Thruway is coming NEXT Friday, and as long as she is making one delivery, she wouldn't mind if others wanted to order.   If anyone is interested, Tanya Bear McKenna will pick up orders (with appropriate money) next Thursday after school and take them to Sociale.  The menu is linked here - SOCIALE

I will be traveling to CO today to tape a segment on cable 2 about the the food bank and our Backpack program. 

Continue to build confidence in your students!

Wednesday MM - Day 4

Good Morning.

Enjoy the Teacher appreciation Taco Luncheon today in the Art room.

In the  Blog documents you will find the schedule for lunch, Specials and recess for next week.  Please look this over as we will review this at the faculty meeting this evening.  You may notice that K-2 have no scheduled specials.  Our Classroom assistants will return from proctoring to their primary role and stay for the remainder of the day.  During the afternoon, K-2 teachers will plan a 30 minute lesson for the assistant to teach while they have a planning period.

I expect for all staff to be present at this vital meeting except for Tonya G. (sick child) & Lisa W. (science CO meeting) & Anne C. (sick leave) & Kathy W. (TAC meeting)

Silvia will be out all day and  I have a Doctors appointment this am and will be in after 9:30.

Friday MM - Day 1

Good Morning!

Today I will attend our Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools STEM Community Luncheon @ Truliant Credit Union. Desired Outcomes:  By the end of this session we will have: 

Received presentation on Strategic Planning Process

Received overview of North Carolina’s STEM plan

Received overview on current WS/FCS initiatives

Discussed next steps for STEM education in WS/FCS

Teachers,

If you have not registered for the CCES workshops for your grade level (register for 3, you already have credit for the one you attended with the district), please do so by Friday of this week.  I plan to start crediting subject areas that have been completed.  Once I do that, and people evaluate, the workshop will disappear and I will not be able to access it again.  ESL, please see me.

Thanks, Kathy

From our PTA.........Fabulous Brunson teachers and staff, we are excited to honor and appreciate all of you next week!  On Monday, we will have healthy snacks and drinks in the teachers' lounge throughout the day.  And on Wednesday, we will have a Terrific Teachers & Staff Taco Lunch in the art room through all lunch periods with lunchroom coverage provided.  Enjoy!

Wednesday MM - Day 5

Good Morning!

The Creekside kids buses for SC left this morning from The mall and I am late on my post, sorry.

I would like to meet with our third fourth and fifth grade residential teachers this afternoon from 3:20-3:30 in Mariah's room regarding our preparation for the second administration of the EOG.

On the survey front we have a new STEM tool developed by Andy K. that will help us build our capacity to deliver rigorous instruction.  We still have until Friday to get higher than our 75% rate of return on the NC TWC.   32 of 41 teachers have completed this  valuable tool and we use the information to improve in the coming years.
