We kicked off Monday with a presentation of one of last week's super Science Shadow Stories for the administration meeting. then this week's students were introduced to the expectations and procedures, and their new coding classes. K-2 love the addition of Flipgrid and 3rd-5th did a great job with their Wonderopolis Daily Wonder and using Classroom Q to request help.
Eco-Schools update: Ms. Allende’s Green Heroes were joined by Ms. Almanza and Ms. Caro’s classes for campus clean-up and cape making thanks to Ms. Roesch and Ms. Wheatley. Ms. Pham’s Monarch Heroes came to the lab to test for earning their wings and passed with flying colors (orange and black)! Ms. Dipersio’s Monarch Heroes got their wings finished and proudly wore them back to class on Friday. Our 2nd grade Recycling Team had their first collection day and did splendidly!
No Place For Hate: Our coalition had their first meeting and discussed the Resolution of Respect, distributed the pledge to every classroom and office, and created a schedule for the new No Place For Hate Moment of the Morning News. They were assigned creating the campus climate survey and choosing this year’s school-wide events. I am so excited about next week’s follow-up to see what they decide! Strella and Joshua have already filmed their first No Place for Hate Moments and they are already airing!
Wednesday I met with all the teachers to share the updates to G/T for this school year and some of my favorite classroom tools and strategies to promote higher-level thinking and authentic engagement for all students such as Wonderopolis, Flipgrid, and Scratch. I am so happy to see so much interest and look forward to their use in more Piney Point classrooms!
We finished up with an awesome Free Build Friday!
