PTO Color Run

Hi all,
We want to invite you to the Color Run on this Saturday, Oct. 21 from 8-9:30.  So far we have a little over 100 participants signed up and we're hoping it will be a nice morning.  We have also invited Crozet families and the Crozet Gazette has asked to come by for pictures for a story.  I hope some of you can join us.

More strategies to support Extending and Differentiating

5 Key Points from “Why Students Forget—and What You Can Do About It” By Youki Terada
  • Spiral the curriculum
  • Peer-to-Peer explanations
  • Frequent “Do-Now” tasks
  • Create tasks that include several different concepts instead of the same strategy
  • Combine text with images ( journal writing )

1-1 Laptops for New Students in Grades 3-5

Do you have a new student in your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade class? When the student is enrolled (or transferred to BES), our CSS, Chris Kiewra, receives an alert email so that he can prepare a machine for the student. You do not need to submit a ticket, but there may be a slight delay in acquiring the new machine because of Chris’ schedule. In the meantime, please feel free to check out a loaner Lenovo for the student from the BES library. Thanks – and let Anne James know if you have any questions.
