Hi everybody,
This is the second time I've written this. The first time I put it in the wrong place. So if it should show up somewhere on comments or whatever, ignore it.
Anyway, I found this blog of what I think is a charter school third grade teacher. She's right on top of things I'm impressed with her. These are some of the things I found on her blog.
May 13th, 2011- Odyssey of the Mind Creative Hat Week. Bring 1.00 for every day you wear a creative hat. All proceeds go to Odyssey of the Mind finals.
May 19, 2011-The teacher sends out e-mails to the parents inviting them to Math Carnival 9:00 10:45. Come and see all the fun and games your children have been working on. Feel free to drop by anytime during that period. later, end of the year party 1:00-2:00 on orange playground.
Also, tonight is Papa John's pizza night. 20% of all food ordered for our children and their families will have 20% going to the Mt Bethels Odyssey of the Mind team who has made it to the world finals in Maryland.
This blog can be found at http://mtbethel.blogs.com/satterthwait/. Satterthwait is the name of this third grade teacher. When I lookede at the mission statement of this school and a few other areas of information,it said that it accepted all children in the schools district.I wonder though, how the poor kids in the district can compete here at Mt Bethel. There seems to be a lot of money flying around, and poor kids don't have money to do things like the things that are going on at this school. Check out the reading assignments and activities the teacher has given for the summer-cool and some great ideas. I like connecting up to these teachers. I can see myself collaborating with these teachers for useful information in the future. They seem to have a lot of great ideas. Although I probably won't be teaching at a school that has a lot of money to throw aroound like this school, I'll get some good ideas on things that don't require much money. Check it out! Jean
