Principal Briggs: Professional development on October 28th & 29th were focused on improving our understanding of critical thinking & how to utilize collaborative strategies to engage students in critical thinking. Diane Meyer & Lori Glawe have worked really hard cataloging & preparing our Guided Reading materials for classroom use. Author Julia Clark visited with all of our students & shared her wonderful books. She also met with our 3rd & 4th grade & provided insight about the writing process & how to create a great story. We had a great turn out for conferences & had tentatively 96% in attendance. We will be administering the Leader in Me survey to our students during the next couple of weeks to gather information about the climate for our students in the classroom. Thank you to all the parents that contributed to providing dinners for our teachers during conferences. It was very generous & the teachers truly appreciated the kindness. Thank you to the Delaware County Pay it Forward for the treats, water, & pop. The entire staff really appreciated the kind gesture & acknowledgement for their hard work.

I had heard the kids had a lot of fun with it & it was the largest cast Mr. Calderwood has had so far. Staff participated in a process called “learning labs”. There will be one each quarter & aligns with the requirement for their evaluations. Real Life Academy involving community businesses occurred on October 19th at WoodsEdge for Ed-Co & MV Students.
