January 3rd-13th #simplify #calm #cabinets

Welcome back! I hope you are rested and refreshed after your winter break! One of the things that I love about the new year is the sense of a fresh start, the change to get organized and simplify. I was inspired to do this at home over the break and I am surprised at how much a neater space contributes to a sense of calm. With this in mind, I'm excited to share that the C and D hubs have beautiful new rolling cabinets that will hopefully help those spaces feel and look more organized and beautiful for you and your students. (B hub has some awesome storage already) There are 5 cabinets for C and 5 fir D, so not one for every grade level or teacher but 500% more storage than is there already :) Vinni and Francisco will be unpacking them today, and they will be ready for your items in the next day or so. Please work with your hub-mates to decide how to organize the items and share the storage space. If there are items you no longer want or need, please place near the large hub door and they will take the items away. I hope the new space is helpful to you! Have a great week!

WIN Update -- yay for round one!

1. WIN Groups:
1. Week of January 4- wrap up last group if needed, assess for your measurable goal (some groups may have already done this-- and you may take that week off if you have finished your unit/goal for the first round.) Please coordinate with your grade level and let me and Jan know)
2. January 11 grade level meeting- record results of measurable goals for round one , regroup and establish new groups and measurable goals (record in grade level doc)
3. Next round begins January 15th with new groups- the second week of January (week of January 8) there will be no groups so that you can plan, and Jan and Olga can help assess if you need help (the last week of round two will be the week of March 2)
