Dear colleagues,
The last two weeks before the Spring Break are at hand and the school year is trotting along keeping us all busy with many things taking place simultaneously. We are piloting the new communication pattern and the deadline for the class website posts is this Friday; also, we are looking into the Word Study again to take the next steps and look for resources. Additionally, the Math R&D and Playground groups are both making good progress with their projects; and the deadline for overseas orders is getting close. Finally, there will be a call for teachers joining the scheduling committee to have a look at our timetable, Wednesday meeting schedule and annual Elementary School events.
Despite the head spinning busyness let’s keep calm and keep the focus on student learning.
