Gator Run Friday Focus - February 27, 2015

What You Might Have Missed this Week on Instagram:
Mr. Heyman's class using protractors to measure angles.

Wired Up Wednesday was a big success.  We had 12 of our Gator Run family members in attendance as Ms. Hollander demonstrated two websites with tools for teaching and learning.

Jump Rope for Heart was amazing.  Thanks to Coach Cliff for organizing this event and to the other Specials teachers for assisting and joining in the fun.

Next Week at a Glance:

• We are hosting Clinical Education training next Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in Ms. Davis' classroom.  
• 4th and 5th grade will be taking the ELA Writing portion of the FSA next Wednesday.  Our teachers and students have been working hard all year and, while we know this is a different type of assessment than we have taken before, I feel extremely confident that our teachers have prepared our students for this challenge.  Way to go 4th and 5th grade teachers!
• Team Collaboration is scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon. 

Quote of the Week - "If plan "A" doesn't work, just remember: the alphabet has 25 more letters." - Anonymous.  Perseverance is a quality that we all need.  Let's teach our students that the struggle is what makes the reward worth it (and let's remember that for ourselves as well).
