How' Everybody???

OK. So I gave the Cycle 2 test today and had a kid all excited because he made an F+!!!! Last time, he made a 38% and this time he made a 58%! Hey, it's all about growth, right?

For those of you new to InterActions, this is how it goes...The first few test grades will make you feel like jumping off a bridge, but it does get better! Hang tough!

As we move into Cycle 3, remember that this one zips by quickly. I plan to trot out my own little mini-version of interactive notebooking with this cycle. I will be having the kids work through Halloween-themed activities that mirror the activities in the book. We'll call it Monster Measurement and have some fun with it!

Dates to remember:
October 4--Interactive Notebooking in the InterActions Classroom. You will love, love, love this workshop! It will start at 9:30 and be done by noon so we can go play...Three teachers will demonstrate an upcoming InterActions lesson using Notebooking. It should be realllllly cool!

October 11--Follow-up Workshop. This one is especially for new InterActions teachers, but anyone is welcome. We will be working through the next few activities and looking at lab set-ups. There will be experienced InterActions teachers there to walk us through it. This one will also start at 9:30 and officially end at noon, but I will stick around as long as anybody wants to be comfortable with upcoming lessons.

Both of these are on signmeup.

Please send in your good ideas and helpful hints to share with other InterActions teachers. Together, we do a pretty good job!!!!!!!!


Love,

Your Monkey
