Some pics from our Staff Development Day on Friday. I attended one session on technology...just need time to figure out how we can apply it toward 1st graders now.  My next session was a speaker sharing about drive and motivation for adults and kids by recognition, not rewards.  LOVED that.  Bought 3 new books to read more about that. The next session was working with all 1st grade teachers on Science standards and the last was just with the FR 1st grade team working on I Can statements.  To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to a day of meetings but I was happily surprised!
