Just FIVE more days until Thanksgiving break - how is that even possible!?  Next week will bring several field trips and LOTS of visitors to campus with Thanksgiving lunches & Kinder Thanksgiving play.  Our next instructional week is critical time as we inch closer to the end of the semester.  Continue to maximize instruction by keeping your days well-planned, protecting small group instruction in reading and math, and making progress through your content standards and modules/units.  Work together as a team to keep your days thoroughly and intentionally planned!
