MMM 10/26/15

HeyAll,
Edcamp last week was fantastic!  I loved going around to the sessions and seeing the engagement.  It is unanimous that we should do it again...so we will.  It is pretty split to invite other schools to our next one.  Please tell me why you would or would not like to invite other schools

To Be Aware Of

• The Monday morning assembly is the Red Ribbon Week Kickoff as well as the Edivate assembly.  We would like to split the assembly into a k-2 and 3-6 assembly.  The things Zack and I will be discussing on Monday is specific to 3-6 and we will have a little different assembly for k-2.
• We will be hosting a district board meeting in November just before the Thanksgiving break.  I need from you a student celebration per grade level and anything else you think should be shared with the board about Grovecrest.
• I will have the evaluation schedule ready this week.  You will know what you are required to do per that schedule via an email I will send to you.  No matter what year you are on, all of us have to do a self evaluation on observertab.  If you have forgotten how to do that, please let me know.  It is your whole email address for username and then whatever your email password is.  Here is a link to the evaluation schedule. If you are a 1-3 and an A, you are on a full evaluation/observation year.  The evaluation form looks like this. If you are a B, you get to choose five (5) indicators to be evaluated on.  An example of the evaluation form looks like this.  If you are a "C", you are on a goal setting year.  The evaluation form looks like this.
• I have two people to do the Edivate uploads.  Thank you.  Now I need everyone to take a survey and have your students take a survey.  They can take the survey at home if they would like.  I will send a letter home to parents this week so they are aware.  As you know, this project is intended to boost STEM Professional Learning in the state and provide evidence to keep existing funding and support future funding.  These surveys are part of that evidence.
• Keep track of what duty you have each week.  There have been a few times where there hasn't been someone out on duty.  We need to make sure the kids are safe.  Here is a link to the duty list for quick reference
• The Grovecrest Faculty Passion Project google classroom page is open and you all have been invited.  Here is a link to the page.  Our next faculty mtg will be a Passion Project faculty mtg.  We will report on where we are in the process of our projects.

Happy Birthday

I don't think there are any birthdays this week.  Let me know if I am wrong.

Celebrations

I have to celebrate those who were willing to facilitate at Edcamp.  Edcamp only happens if people are willing to share.  Even though there were only five or six facilitators, Edcamp allows more than the presenter to share.
Officer Cannavo did a great lesson on bullying this last week during N.O.V.A.  Really good.  Here is the video he shared.  Great discussion with the 6th graders.

Great Video of the Week

Look to video above and remember Edivate.

Have an Amazing week!
