Week of September 3

Thursday Thoughts September 3

 



The past 19 days of school have been a whirlwind.  In fact, I have noticed that when I get home each evening, I am scarfing down my food and rushing to take a shower so that I can get back on my laptop to do more work (if I can even stay awake).  I know you can relate.  Well, enough is enough!  We have packed ALOT into the first few weeks of school and we need a break.  It is my hope that you are able to refresh and rejuvenate over the long weekend.  I can't promise that things will slow down when we return, but if we STOP for just a couple of days, we can muster up enough energy to get through September.  Enjoy the long weekend!!

 

 

 

 

Staff Spotlight

This week I would like to shine the spotlight on Kim Richards. Kim joined Medlock this year and has a very tall order to fill.  There is no official job description for her position and she truly has to create her own value within our school.  In just a few short weeks, Kim has jumped right in with each grade level to serve as a planner, guide, demonstrator and advocate for PBL.  The website that she is creating will house the grade level PBL units and serve as a resource for teachers, students and parents alike.   Kim, thank you for the work that you are doing for the teachers and students.  We are excited about this work and know that we will learn a lot this year!

Looking Ahead

Congratulations Medlock Personalized Learning Team!

Congratulations to Craig, Leigh and Tanis, our Personalized Learning Team, on a job well done.  Our comprehensive ten page PL instructional model (that they worked on all summer) was approved by our area superintendent yesterday with no adjustments necessary.  This is a huge victory in our quest toward acquiring devices.
