What an exciting day! We have completed day 4 of Summer School and to see the excitement on the students' faces and teachers expressions is priceless. A soon-to-be-5th grader finds his way into my office after every session to "let me know how things are going" and he is always smiling!
The three summer school teachers joined 10 other staff members in checking out IPADs for the summer. The technology department has put together a class for the SEP teachers to learn how to use IPADs in the classrooms. I have heard great reviews about the class. A big "shout out" to our tech department. If you have taken the class, please add comments below to let me know what you've learned.
We are still filling positions at the district and school level. I love being part of interview teams because I enjoy seeing people's excitement when they talk about education. I always learn from interviews, either from what candidates are saying or what I am thinking. A random thought...I should put a set of interview questions together for my family and ask them at the dinner table tonight. Ex: What strengths do you bring to this family and what could you improve? I think my 7 year old would enlighten us in her response. My 1 1/2 year old would simple nod her head and ask for another cookie. Another question, "How should we handle it when we disagree with a decision?" Hmmmmmmmmm...this might be fun.
I'm not happy with the professional reading I've done this summer. That's code for, "I haven't read any professional books, yet." I carry plenty of books in my bag (7 to be exact) because one of these days I will be ready to read. I always make that promise, "I am not buying anymore books until I have these read!" It never works. In fact, I have an unopened box of books on the table at home that I ordered from Amazon, but I think they are the books I ordered to give the teachers at the first teacher's meeting. I need to get the teachers excited about returning to school and some door prizes (and food) should do the trick.
Happy Tuesday!
