Updates 2/17/14

And the Survey Says...

Last week I went around and took a survey of how PBS Boards are being used.  Below are the 4 options of what I saw and the percentage of classrooms fitting that description of what was on the PBS board.


  1. Nothing: 20%
  2. The "What, Why, and How": 15%
  3. Just the "What": 20%
  4. Other: 35%
Early in the school year, all classes (including specials) were asked to post the What, Why, and How of the Cool Tool of the month as provided by Stephanie.  This month's is Leadership, please update your board as needed.


Kudos to...
  • Erin Davenport for making sure Nuestro Mundo was represented in Math Fest
  • Kristen Scott for advocating for all of her students and initiating collaboration with the TAG department
  • Susan Janik for promoting excitement around literature school-wide
  • The Olympic Committee for making Nuestro Mundo a special place (John, Rigo, Anne, Susan,) Apologies if I'm forgetting someone, please let me know.
