FACULTY SECTION
PLC TIDBIT OF THE DAY: Each of us comes to the team with our own particular needs as a learner and participant. And yet, the vast majority of meeting time is spent in one mode of interaction – discussion. For individuals who are most comfortable expressing themselves or learning from their verbal/auditory channels, this traditional meeting format is just fine. But that usually doesn’t include everyone in the group. Unfortunately, by limiting the interaction to talking, those who learn best through their visual or kinesthetic channels don’t fully contribute. The net effect is that we don’t gain the full benefit of those people. (Radford)
BOOKS ARE FUN IS BACK: Books are Fun has a display set up in the attendance office. There are several Spanish books this time. Last day to order is Monday, April 21st items will be delivered to your classroom Tuesday April 22nd. (Butler)
STAFF: Please excuse the members of the Varsity Softball team from period 6 today to travel to their game at Montgomery HS. Thank you, Acerrio
