This is the time when many decide to rearrange and reorganize classroom spaces. For now, any furniture that you may want to move out will need to stay in your classrooms. You can take a photo of items and send to staff to see if anyone wants to take it off your hands! Otherwise, we will have a time in August when you can move out all unwanted furniture for disposal or donation. Thanks for your patience!

Also, if you have any broken items or items that need to be repaired, please let me know. ]]> 2022-07-17 16:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244822708 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244824912 Remember to send any photos you want me to include in our annual summer slideshow. 

For those of you that are new to DCS, each year at our PD Day before school starts we have a slideshow highlighting what each staff member was up to over the summer vacation. Participation is not mandatory, but it would be great to get as many photos as we can! Any adventure can be included- big or small. 

One of my summer adventures has been trying to figure out how to close our remote gate after Tuesday trash days. I have a feeling the gate is going to be a long lasting adventure for me!]]> 2022-07-17 16:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244824912 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244825405 We have quite a few standing tables that can be delivered to classrooms if you would like one. I will send a photo of the tables out next week. If you are on campus and want to take a look at them, they are currently being stored in the Nest.  If you want one, let me know. ]]> 2022-07-17 16:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244825405 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244831714 Please take a minute to fill in these two super short surveys.

This one is for the Room 3 Foss Kits. Some of you have already filled it in, and I appreciate your feedback!

This survey is just a way for me to learn a bit more about you! There are only 6 quick questions. ]]> 2022-07-17 17:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244831714 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244838707 On August 11th and 12th, we will have 2 days of PD for our new to DCS Staff. Thanks to the planning team that is working on creating the activities for our two days. Attached is the schedule. Please note that any staff members, even those that are not new this year, can attend the PD sessions. If you see something on the schedule that you think could be helpful for you, then join us! Just let me know if you plan to attend. ]]> 2022-07-17 18:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244838707 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244844506 Each week when I send the Padlet, I will highlight a resource or two that could be helpful. All resource links will be compiled on the attached document. If you ever find something that should be included, send my way! ]]> 2022-07-17 18:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244844506 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244845089  I have reached out to Greg Tang to see about possible PD options for our school, but I am still waiting to hear back. For now, if you would like to check out some of the virtual PD sessions being offered, check out this site. Thanks to Grace for sending to me! If you want to register for any of the sessions let me know. ]]> 2022-07-17 18:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244845089 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244845260 See attached screenshot of various assessments that you can register for free between August and June (while funds last). For those of you completing credentials, some of the assessments may apply to you! Also, if you know of anyone who might want to be a sub, they can register for the CBEST for free, too. ]]> 2022-07-17 18:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244845260 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244919380 I started teaching at DCS 12 years ago, and every year I would start each school day with an activity I called "Brain Warm Up." Although it morphed into a much more complex activity over the years, the two parts that always remained the same were: "Happy Face" and "Puzzler." Happy Face was a daily opportunity for the class to laugh and feel good, and Puzzler was a daily opportunity to think outside the box. So, each week in the padlet, I will include a Happy Face and Puzzler. I will compile them on the attached Slideshow, too. The hope is that you can get some enjoyment from the posts every now and then, and maybe there will be a nugget here or there that you can share with your kiddos :)  ]]> 2022-07-18 00:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244919380 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244921000 One year, I had a group of students who LOVED having Liz Climo Comics in our Brain Warm Ups each day. You can find tons of free comic strips, including Liz Climo, at gocomics.com

The site also has other rebus puzzles you can download or take screenshots to share with your kiddos. ]]> 2022-07-18 00:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244924340 carolbauerle https://padlet.com/carolbauerle/80pl67kjuv70jmwo/wish/2244956929 Wednesday, 7/20: Carol off campus all day.
