Gator Run Friday Focus - November 7, 2014

I WANT YOU...to present your "Innovating" ideas at our next Faculty Collaboration!  Are you doing something in your classroom that your fellow colleagues could benefit from?  Do you have a strategy that all of our Gator Run teachers need to know about?  This is your time!  I need your help in making our next Faculty Collaboration truly a collaboration.  I heard from some of you that our Collaborations haven't lived up to their name this year and now it's time to return to our goal of teachers collaborating with each other.  Please visit with me or email me with your idea and we can discuss how you can earn "Innovating" points. 

• No school on Tuesday.
• Field Days: 2nd Grade on Monday, 1st Grade on Wednesday and Kindergarten on Friday.
• Interim Reports are due to Team Leaders on Monday and Ms. Felton on Thursday. 
• Team Collaboration is scheduled for next Wednesday.
• Report Cards for the 1st quarter go home on Thursday.
• Friday is our Honor Roll Breakfast.

Quote of the Week - "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller.  This seems like the perfect quote at the right time for us.  We are so overwhelmed with everything that's been placed upon us this year that we really have to rally together so that we can accomplish our goal of ensuring that each of our students receives a high-quality education.  We really just need to focus on the 1. standards and the 2. DOK levels and let all the other things fall where they may.  Let me know what I can do to help keep you focused on those two items.
