Inspiring thoughts....

This is the quote Pam read to us.

More from Steve Jobs....

“My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other’s kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That’s how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they’re done by a team of people.”

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

iReady: Are you ready? 

It's important that you complete end of year testing with iReady. We need that data for you to upload into CITE 6. Remember, you will have a member of the CITE 6 team sit with you to do this. But you need the data! IF you haven't already done your end of the year assessment - do it soon. I am also inviting Carolyn Burtner back to help us interpret the data.

Rosetta Stone

We need to have a brief conversation on Wednesday afternoon about Rosetta Stone and next year. We will need to decide what grade levels will be using it. We need to decide what our implementation will look like for next year. Think about it now and come prepared to weigh in.
