Welcome Back!

As this school year begins I was reminded by our principal and superintendent to stay positive.  Our principal showed us this video, which really exemplifies this message.  I hope your year is great and that you remember the little things.

Differentiated Instruction

I went to a fantastic workshop presented by Kathleen Kryza regarding differentiated instruction this past week.  All I can say is Wow!  If you haven't had the opportunity to attend her professional development, make it a priority.  Luckily our group was very small, so the workshop was quite interactive.  I am planning to implement a number of the strategies she taught us in my classroom this Fall.  I'm especially excited about core grouping.  For more information about Kathleen and free resources go to http://www.kathleenkryza.com/.
