Commended for Splendid Blended!
I've seen some great Blended Learning/Cooperative Learning Activities this week: Pozega in Math and Reep in Social Studies. Students were engaged and transitions were smooth. Crook in Music had purposeful, differentiated groups. Keep up the good work!

EOM
EOM at the end of the subject in an email from me means END OF MESSAGE. I put that in so you know that there is nothing in the body of the email. It's supposed to be a time saver. You don't have to open the email to get the message.

We Lead By Example
In any subject, please remember to credit your sources, as we expect our students to do. I always list the website for any image I am using. It is a quick and easy way to show respect for copyright and can be used as a real world example.
