Project Warm Fuzzy
A warm fuzzy is any person or thing that gives others comfort, reassurance, or a friendly feeling.
Take a minute to share a friendly feeling with MGE staff and post it on our warm fuzzy wall in the lounge OR put it in your colleagues box as a warm fuzzy surprise. :) The first Warm Fuzzy slip will be in your mailbox and additional copies of these slips will be located near the copy machine. Please take time to complete and pass on throughout the month of April and May....not real warm and fuzzy, but Annual Conference forms are due today (April 12) - Certified staff only. I do get all warm-and-fuzzy reading them though!
Classified Staff - end of year evaluations will take place over the last two weeks of school. More info to come.
Welcome to Amanda Robinson who will be Becky Goerend's long term sub (Congrats Becky!). As I told someone on Monday, "1 down, and 3 to go!"...I heard Baugh is running the pool for when (and who) our next MGE Baby will arrive.
Professional Development - If your Personal Learning Network (PLN) has not added your inquiry learning focus and team members to the Danielson 3rd Inquiry Groups Google.doc, please do so today. All teachers may access next week's agenda on the document (below the team list). More information will come to teams next Monday.
PBIS Core Team will meet again on Friday, April 19th. The goal for the team that day will be to draft a 2013-14 PBIS Goal for the BLT's May 6th CSIP meeting. Those team members who cannot attend, please pass along your ideas/information to another core team member before the meeting.
Leader In Me Book Study - The books are in! I am looking to get past annual conferences and assessment before we begin. I have set up three times so staff members can choose any of the three book study teams to be a part of in May. Please make your choice here and there is still available slots if you want to join us! As you sign up, please attempt to even out the teams but also make sure they are dates/times you can attend. Once you sign up, I will get you your book. I would like to set up one time (2hrs) in June to get as many from the teams together to wrap up the book study and thought process together. We will set that date as we proceed with the book study. If you cannot join us, but are interested in the learning, I hope to post the book study questions and conversation summary on a Google.doc so you can follow along.
Tired of me saying, "Please check out/edit/add dates to the Dates to Remember?" :-) I have appreciated several of you catching conflicts, keeping your team posted and helping make sure our last 6-8 weeks goes as calendar-conflict-free as possible! Keep it up.
If you can't beat them, Love and Logic Them...
First, since there are multiple definitions of the term, "beat," let me clarify the definition
I am using within the above sentence:
Beat - to defeat or subdue, as in a contest.
Now that it is clarified, :-) I wanted to share a resource from the Love and Logic website
that may be helpful during the last month of school when you may feel you've run out
of gas or patience on certain days. The Love in the Loo resources our Related Arts team
has been sharing all year have been great and appreciated! Another way to continue to
receive wonderful tips, ideas and resources this summer without visiting the MGE Loo, is
to sign up for the Love and Logic "Insiders' Club" on their website. You will then get
delivered a newsletter to your email box each month with similar tips. I've enjoyed it over
the past few months and I hope you will too:
