Kudos and To Do's
Happy Secretary's Week to our Fab Five! We appreciate all you do to keep us up and running! Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Lambusta--our Media Specialist! You are very deserving of this great honor by your peers! Thanks to everyone for a great first week back! Look at the examples of "Good Teaching" in the slide show below.
Be sure to check your email about the upcoming Special Education Audit and for assisting with PTA recruitment for next year. Report Cards go home next week. Make sure you call and speak with parents of students that have earned I's. Although we have Parent Assist, all of our families do not have access--minimize surprise.
Instructional Focus and Tips
Summarizing. Having students summarize skills and concepts is a great strategy to use daily. Continue to look for opportunities to engage students using technology and research based strategies. Look where?
Twitter. Continue to check my Twitter feed on the right for links to great instructional stuff. Here is a nice eBook of Web 2.o Projects that I got from a Twitter friend that you can download--it should give you some great ideas to use for the end of the school year.

Google Docs. Another great and underutilized tool is Google Docs. Here is a You Tube Video that explains what Google Docs can do and a link to how to create a SELF GRADING QUIZ using Google "Forms!" Students can use this when taking common assessments. The great news is that you can tell it to grade fill in the blanks! The first teacher to create a useable self grading quiz will get a prize. You have to send me a link.
