Have any of you heard Anne's stories about jumping snow drifts and getting Big Red through the snow tunnels in the North Country? I told her the other day that every time she tells us about her morning commute, I picture her driving like Daisy in the Dukes of Hazard! :-) I know your commutes have been a bit sketchy the last few weeks. The snow days are hopefully behind us. Thanks for the adjustments you've made in your calendars and schedules to accommodate!Lesson Plans
Please note there is a new schedule on the blog for submitting lesson plans on the right side of the blog. Toni will be the one checking in with you on this.

- We will also be thinking about the question -
"How might we better communicate with each other? Office to Teachers, Teachers to Office, Teachers to Paras, Paras to Teachers, Teachers to Teachers....come with lots of ideas. We may not spend a lot of time doing more than recording, but we want to consider this BIG question.
Donuts for Dads
Dads and Donuts is next Friday morning. Early is better for parking. :-) Please also have something ready for students to read to their dads at their desks when they finish their donuts in the gym. It's a great chance to build relationships.
