Summertime Cheer

I have had so many opportunities to learn this summer and I am excited to bring it into the class! I attended a 2-day workshop in Des Moines, Our Kids. It reminded all of us that each of the students we have are ours and we need to treat them with respect. I also attended a Standards Based Grading workshop for two days that really helped me understand how grading should be done! I can't wait to share my new knowledge with the rest of the teachers! I attended a Diversity class for three days that made me think outside the box a lot. Also, I started a graduate course, Introduction to Graduate Study and Research. For my research, I am looking into the effects of spelling. I know that has been a question that a lot of parents are asking so I am diving deeper into that topic! I am also a part of the new PBIS program that will be introduced this year at Creek. Finally, I am attending in August the Write Tools workshop! I have had one educational and positive summer. Look forward to sharing with you in August what we will be doing!
