Gator Run Friday Focus - May 13, 2016

Four of our teachers are piloting IC3 Spark, courseware designed for students to introduce the concept of digital literacy.  Students receive a digital tools certificate upon passing the course.  I tell you this because we are hosting a group on June 1 to discuss and visit those four classrooms: Safra, Davis, Yassen, and Hollander (Krauss).  This group will consist of 25 elementary principals from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, along with dignitaries, translators, members of the Florida Department of Education, and educators from Broward Schools.  We will be meeting in the Media Center with the group that morning, visiting the 4 classrooms and then reconvening in the Media Center.  I'm excited about the possibilities to showcase our amazing school!

Next Week at a Glance:
  • Team Leader on Tuesday.  
  • Our 5th Grade Drama Club will perform for their 5th grade classmates on Tuesday at 8:30.  They will perform for their families that night at 6:00 PM.  
  • We will have a Faculty Focus on Tuesday at 2:15.
  • Our Safety Patrol End of Year Celebration is on Wednesday at 8:00 in the cafeteria.
  • AR Night Out is on Friday at 6:30.

App of the Week: I was introduced to ChatterPix this week at a meeting that I attended along with Mrs. Coyle and Mrs. Hanley.  This app could be a great tool for student presentations.  Check it out!
