VIP
Hopefully the changes that we are making to our virtual program are being beneficial to everyone involved. This week has been a sort of "change over" week so hopefully next week it will be in full implementation. Feedback from parents shows that they find the teacher videos to be extremely beneficial for the students. I had conversation with several teachers yesterday and asked them to share with their grade level team members. We would like to continue with the teacher video to some degree. I am asking that each teacher submit one video per week for their content area. For each grade level, that will be a total of three or four videos. This should be an instructional video that either previews or reviews the learning for the week and should align with the content they are receiving through their VIP lessons. We would like each video to be submitted on a different day. My understanding is that all teachers are still teachers in the VIP Google Classroom so each one should be able to submit their own video. If you have questions - please let me know. And - thank you for being so flexible as we are building this plane.
1. We are going to ask Kona Ice to come back once per month. I'll send a schedule as soon as I have it.
2. Panther Cards - we are going to see the Panther cards as a fall fundraiser. We usually sell those in the spring but didn't this past year. Details will be coming soon.
3. Leader of the Month - it was decided to continue doing Leader of the Month but let each teacher choose their own along with their own criteria for selecting the leader. Each teacher can reward their student in their classroom. We will recognize the Leaders of the Month on the last Friday of each month at our morning meeting. There will be a slide for you to add yours to. We will do it for the first time on September 25th. If you selected one for August - you can also recognize them as well.
4. Panther Bucks - we want to implement our Panther Buck system again this year. If you are new to CCES and don't know about this - ask your mentor or one of your team members. Students earn $1 for each green day, $0 for yellow and lose a $1 for red. We will do the Panther Store on October 1st.
5. Morning Assembly - please update the morning slides. We are going to be recognizing students each day.
6. House - we are postponing all house/pod activities for this year and hope we can pick up next year.
7. We are going to do Spirit Week September thru Oct 2nd. Andrea sent info out earlier about that.
