5/11/15 MMM

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  I know it is a day late, but Happy Woman's Day to all of the women here who make a difference.  
Things are really starting to ramp up in preparation for the end of the year.  Please keep on your toes.  Keep  in mind the important dates including SAGE Testing and End of Year events for each grade level.  We don't want to step on any toes.  I hope everyone remembered DRA was supposed to be input into Skyward by last Friday.  Sometimes they leave Skyward open a little longer.  If you haven't input, get it done TODAY.  Hopefully it is still open.
I haven't heard anything more about our rebuild.  As I get information, I will pass it on to all of you.
There have been some great things happening at Grovecrest throughout the year.  Please share some great things that you have noticed in your class, on your team, and/or in general via this padlet.  I had this up last week, but since I didn't have the MMM out till later in the week, I'll leave it up and available to you.

Thank you to those who got your classes involved in the Hanging with Hoopes blog post via our school website.  It has been very interesting to see what kids are curious about.  I think this will help you see how Genius Hour could be a very beneficial thing to our students.  Here is a link to the student responses.


**To Be Aware of**
  • SAGE Testing will end next Thursday the 21st..  Please be quiet in the halls and those who are administering, remember ethics.  Take stuff off the walls or cover up.  We don't want to take any chances.
  • Don't forget this week's #Utedchat on Wednesday from 9-10.
  • Don't forget to attach #teamkid on all tweets going out.  Our school hashtag is #PawPower.
  • New book I will be reading to classes is Horton Hatches the Egg.  The topic of discussion is responsibility.  I haven't put in any new times, but if you want me to come in and read to your class, come and talk to me and we can schedule it.
  • I still have those book catalogs in my office that were used about a month ago by a vendor to help with our guided reading library.  You will need to decide on books you would like to order.  I would like to finalize by the end of this week.
  • The last day of school time for kids is 9:05-10:35.  Faculty Social will start after that.
