Reminders

* Click here for the Building a Culture of Mathematics power point.

* Please remember to share your PARCC accommodations form with Libby, Tammy, Justin, and Stephanie Brown.

* To ensure devices are ready for PARCC, please let Megan know if something isn't working right. Email her and then send the machine with a sticky note to the Steam Lab!
On average it takes 2-3 weeks to receive a machine back from the repair shop, so she'd prefer to send devices out as soon as issues happen so we get them back for testing. She WILL have a laptop replacement for you while the device is missing!
(Please not there are no extra chromebooks so replacement machines will be laptops!) Thank you for help with this!

Kindness Week

Kindness Week is this week!

• Thursday, Feb. 16th, we will have our door decorating contest. This is an optional activity for teachers - you do not have to participate! If you would like to, have your class decorate your classroom door in a way that represents kindness. We will have a few judges walk around in the afternoon on the 16th, and pick a winner for K-2, and a winner for 3-5. 

• Each teacher will have a class set of the Kindness Checklist to pass out to students on Monday, Feb. 13th. (These will be in your copy box in the workroom) Students will be challenged to complete as many of these acts as they can throughout the week.

• Please let Bev or Kylee know if you have any questions!
