Wow. There are lots of things going on to prepare us for tomorrow. Last week I did more training then I thought it was possible to squeeze into a week - we trainined all of the paraprofessionals to use Kisdpiration 3, I helped introduce the “Cookie Unit” for 6th grade English, we trained all of the teachers at the “New” Park View, and I did overvew sessions on www.thinkfinity.org at Wellness Day. I got email from some of you asking where I was and when would I be at the buildings…I’ve got training with the TRts this week, so I’m afraid I won’t be at the buildings until next week.
In the meantime, I have a couple of back to school things for you:
- Check out scholastic’s Back to School resources: http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=10623
- ABCTeach has a great Back to School resource area as well: http://abcteach.com/directory/theme_units/back_to_school/
- Teachnology has started doing YouTube videos for teachers. Here’s something on student motivation that you might want to consider as you gear up for the new year:
Have a great start to the new year, and I’ll be coming by as soon as I can.
