HAPPY DECEMBER!!

Hour of Code is COMING December 7-13 and if you visit THIS LINK to register for Hour of Code, and we get our whole school registered, we can win $10,000 in TECHNOLOGY!!! Let's DO THIS GVMS!! PLEASE let us know ASAP if you are doing Hour of Code so that we can take pics and BRAG about you!!! Email me and let me know when!

I love the idea of a "Maker Space" for Middle School! This is where our kids can create, inspire, play, and still be kids.  Some of it we can do in our own classrooms with out having the extra classroom dedicated to this. Check out THIS ARTICLE for how we can make this happen!

Do you have a case of burnout or do you feel it coming on?? Take a look at THIS ARTICLE for 5 easy tips for avoiding burnout =)

I LOVE this video that came through Kid President on how EVERY kid is ONE caring adult away from being a success story!! Check it out HERE!!

Upcoming events: Please remember that Challenge Day is coming up on December 14th and 15th and that, if there is bad weather outside, PE will need to use classrooms during the day. This means that if you have prep and it is raining outside, there is a good chance we will need your classroom. And yes, we are also utilizing the library and the cafeteria as well.

Please don't forget that we have band concerts next week. Please refer to the MORNING assembly schedule for December 9th and that 6th grade will take place during 6th period on the 8th!
