Monday Notes 12.17.18
*******************NEWS**********************
Schedule: I will be at High Point on Tuesday 12/18 and Wednesday 12/19
Notes: It's almost time for Winter Break, but that doesn't mean learning and exploring has to stop. Need some holiday-themed activities to keep students engaged, check out the resources on this Padlet wall - https://padlet.com/romeh/holidays!
Highlights: A huge shout out to the assistants and paraprofessionals who have been supporting teachers and students with Seesaw. Having your support is so helpful in getting students motivated and providing extra time to practice skills. Thanks to Ms. King for the pictures below showing students practicing speaking and spelling their sight words!
