This first one is not going to be real fancy. I let the cat out of the bag in our training this morning and said something about staying up late. Well, guess what. I'm up late again, but I promised to get this to you so I'm going to. The biggest reason for this is to get the lunch schedule out to everyone.
The training yesterday with iReady I hope was beneficial. I know some of us don't have as ready access to devices to do the activities. This is why it is very important to plan open computer lab times for your classes. Get on the schedule so we don't double book those times.
I'm also excited to start sharing with each other the Mindset Challenge from before the iReady training. Remember, I want all of us to try something new this year that would make our school better. This could be something you try on your own, with a partner, or as a team. It doesn't have to be a save the world type project. Just something new you want to try that you are passionate about. I've provided a place for all of us to reflect together in a new google classroom. I invited all of you to join it. I chose google classroom to learn more about it and to show all of you another option for your own classroom. I really do want us all to share and reflect with each other, but if public reflection is not something you want to do, I would encourage you to reflect in some way for yourself. I like to write because it makes my reflections more permanent. I also like to publicize my reflections for two big reasons: I want to be an example to our students in publishing work to a broader audience and I get suggestions/comments from others that help me grow. You decide what you want to do, but please try something new and please reflect.
To Be Aware Of
As mentioned above, the Grovecrest Faculty Passion Project google classroom page is open and you all have been invited. Here is a link to the page.
The Monday Assemblies Zack and I will be doing are going to be every 4th Monday, or the last school Monday of the month starting in September. We will call them Edivate Assemblies since you will be working on Edivate during those times.
The first faculty Mtg that will be devoted to your passion projects will be in September. This may change, but there will be 4 of our faculty meetings devoted to that.
Our PD day in October will be in an edcamp format. Information in this will come to you throughout the coming weeks in preparation.
Zack and I will be scheduling Oliver Button readings next week. Monthly Kyle reads will be scheduled each month as well.
I will let you know the evaluation schedule when I get it.

Great first PD and contract days. I feel we learned a ton and in the process, we were able to serve another school as well. I'm excited to see how iReady works for everyone.
Your rooms all look amazing. Great places for our students to learn. Did you see Melinda's hallway display? Pretty awesome!
Great Video of the Week

Have a Great 1st day and an Amazing week!
