From Ms. Maxey:
IB:
Please plan on bringing student work and rubrics from your most recent MYP project to your collaborative meetings. We will analyze student work to guide teaching and learning practices as well as discuss how to effectively use the MYP rubrics to design and differentiate instruction.
Make sure that your IB unit posters are up to date and on your walls and that you are referring to them during instruction. This is also a great way to relate learner profiles and concepts to PAWS.
In your teams, be thinking about your interdisciplinary unit in order to support literacy and numeracy across the contents.
Enrichment:
Science Fair is set for December 11th. We have some UGA professors and students who will stop by for scoring. On that day, we would also like for Science teachers to stop by to help score other grade levels. Projects can be done digitally or on a board; however, students need to provide their own supplies if the are using a board. We need to have abstracts done by Friday, the 8th.
The MLK writing competition is due in January. See Carlyn's email on the specifics.
We have been meeting with some of our students. Some have check in check out sheets starting this week. I sent the 6th grade names out on Tuesday. As soon as we meet with the other grade levels, you will receive an email.
Mrs. Maxey would love to collaboratively teach; please contact her for IB or enrichment co-teaching.
From Gonzalez:
"Sixth graders will be treated to a Jake Burt Author Visit thanks to Avid Bookshop and Feiwel & Friends Publishers at 9:00 AM Wednesday, November 15th! Jake Burt will talk to students about writing and his new book, Greetings from Witness Protection. The Hilsman Media Center will have a BIG book drawing for 40 copies that winning students will receive the morning of the drawing so they can have their copy signed. (If students would like to purchase their own copy, the total cost is $18.18 for the hardcover version.) Parents are welcome to the event!"
Mr. Hussain will be buying pizza for everyone who plans after school on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. He will be available to co-plan during this time (and co-teach during a class if you want). Stop by his classroom (room 205) after school to check it out next Tuesday! He'll be showing an activity called an Unfailable Quiz that builds immediate remediation into a lesson (here's a tutorial to whet your appetite).
