Recap from last week...

Here was the agenda from last week. After hearing from a few ENGAGED parents, I want to provide a terminology "KEY" in order to help you understanding the abbreviations in the agenda.

O: Represents opening, which is how we begin the day, usually something to get the student focused and ready to learn.

WS: Represents the work session, which is the main topic/activity for the day (this will usually be facilitated by the teach, but driven by students).

CL; Represents the closing, which is the end of the class when we try to make sure that students leave with proper understanding of the lesson.

HW: you guessed it, represents Homework, which is usually for them to watch a video and take notes.

NHWF's: Represents "NO HOMEWORK FRIDAY'S".
