Important Information
September 11th (Patriot Day)
We will be having a moment of silence on Monday at 8:46am. I will come on announcements, say a few words, and ask for the moment of silence (10-15 seconds).
I am sure our social studies teachers will be discussing 9/11 in classes, but if you are comfortable with it, please share with your students what it was like for you on that day.
Here is a link to the 911 Memorial and Museum. It has some good information and ideas for talking with students.
Classroom Visits
I try to stop in every room everyday so the students see me and to get an idea of what is happening. I have been very pleased with the instruction I have seen.
Keep students engaged. If they are doing a single task for more than 10 minutes, you will lose them. Keep them guessing.....change things up....take some chances and have fun.
