The first week was awesome! I really appreciate those who participated in the Blue Carpet event. Parents were very impressed and enjoyed that morning event. I have heard from some parents that said they felt bad they missed it. I know it was a bit chaotic, but we will make plans to make it better for next year and we will advertise it better as well.
This is our first PLC Monday of the year and I hope all will set aside time to look at Edivate today. Some teams have talked to me and said that it was in their plans. I wanted to share one of the video clips I have watched. It has to do with STEM. Here is a link. Let me know what you think. It will also be in the video of the week section of this MMM.
To Be Aware Of
This Thursday will be our Back to School night from 5-7. Please publicize this with your kids and parents. We will be sending home a note, putting it on Facebook, Twitter, Remind, School Messenger, and the website. However, your help in getting the word out by your means will be helpful. Just so you know, this Back to School night will be a lot more interactive for parents in the big parent meeting. There will still be the PTA budget part of it that All parents LOVE to attend, but there will be an exercise I will put parents through as well. This is why we need more parents there than we usually have and this is why I need your help in getting the word out.
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 about this will come to you throughout the coming weeks in preparation.
Zack and I will be scheduling Oliver Button readings soon. Monthly Kyle reads will be scheduled each month as well.
I will let you know the evaluation schedule when I get it.

Celebrations
I was able to make it to every class every day last week either through rules rotation or a quick visit. That is my goal this year and I hope to make it.
Heather Connell was having her kids do idea maps for autobiographies on just the third day! Can you believe that? 2nd graders doing idea maps and not even a week in. Awesome!!
Tess McClesky put her students through the Mindset Questionnaire found on page 12 of the book. She said it was a great discussion. I know because my daughter who is in her class was talking about it at home. Great thinking to do that with your students.
Great Video of the Week
Have a Great 1st day and an Amazing week!
