Guest blog post from Mrs. Morrissey regarding available resources in our IMC.
New Resources For The New Year
Danielson Domains 1a, 1b, and 4e
With the start of the new year, we also have several new teacher resource books that have been added to the IMC.
  |
A Responsive Classroom book, The Power of Our Words shares how simple changes in teacher language can bring about significant changes within your students and classroom. This book is a great resource also for specific examples and ideas that you can use right away within your classroom.
|
 |
Middle School Motivators has 22 interactive learning structures to ensure that all students stay fully engaged and collaborate successfully. Each learning structure is clearly laid out and ready to be implemented into any classroom.
|
  |
80 Morning Meeting Ideas (k-2 and 3-6) are packed with greetings, sharings, group activities, and morning messages that you can use with your students to start the day off right.
|
All of these resources, as well as many others, can be found in our professional library at the 1-8 building. This is located behind the IMC desk, if you haven’t had an opportunity to yet, go and take a look!
Winter "Get Active" Activity
Our traditional "End of Semester Celebration" will take on a different form this year. Next Thursday, 1/19, we will have a brief assembly at the end of the day featuring another Carelli Cup competition. Mr. Kallungi, Mrs. Serstad, and myself have been working on planning an event which will take place on Friday, 2/24.
