Field Trips - Please know that there are SEVERAL field trips the week of May 13th. I have added the the trips to the End of the Year sheet that we have. You can find a link HERE. Please also note the number of AP exams the next two weeks as well.
End of the Year Tips: We learned MANY, new things in Washington DC (that I cannot wait to share) but one thing that Daniel Pink shared with us is that we can not ever underestimate breaks and movement in the classroom - and the impact that it has on learning. The research is compelling! His research aligned very well with Laurie Desautel's work as well. Laurie posted a great link with many great ideas for the classroom the last two weeks of school. Please find a link to her article and resources below. They are SUPER! Remember - Brain Aligned work is your friend!
