THANKS TO MATT!

Kudos to Matt for organizing these blogs for those of us who are technologically challenged. I really think once we get the hang of this that it will be well worth the effort! I love the pics that were added by Poseidon!

A few reminders:
These blogs are not private, so when you are blogging about your meetings, DO NOT use student names!

Also - now that we're up and running, remember that the first 5 minutes on the agenda for every meeting is to review the blogs from the other teams.

I think that this, like everything else will evolve as we go. Please keep an open mind as we venture into this territory. When we really get this going, I truly believe that it will be part of the solution to our inter-team communication woes we had last year.

Lastly - I am going to ask to meet with team leaders briefly after school one day next week. Please let me know what day is good for the three of you. If you have any concerns as a team you wish for us to discuss, please pass that along to your team leader.

For Starters...Let's BRAG a little - or a LOT...

What have been our accomplishments this year? Consider the challenge that was given at the beginning of the year. How have we made progress in the areas of Teaming, PBS, Failure is Not an Option? Remember, we started out with nothing! Have we made strides toward our mission: Every Child... Known, Valued and Inspired? Please speak to the accomplishments of each aspect and go back and comment on at least one other person's response. This will help us begin to use this blog as a means of true, meaningful communication even though we aren't face to face.

Helping Hand

Hey - This blog is for Collin, Kevin, Janet and Melissa. As y'all know, Melissa has had severe back trouble all year. Unfortunately it's not getting any better. She may even be put on bed rest before the year ends. Right now, she's trying her best to make it here, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for her. So - here's what I'd like to find out... Where is everyone in terms of the curriculum? Perhaps if Melissa has to be out more frequently, we could find a way to divide her classes so at least they're receiving some sort of instruction. I know that honors classes and her first block will be an issue, but I think we could do some creative division to solve this problem. Any ideas?
