October 12 Professional Development Day Activities

October 12 was our fall professional development day for faculty.  The teaching staff had a chance to have fun with Innovation Time and experience Maker Spacers with Littlebit kits, along with a fun team building exercise facilitated by Mr. Zygmunt.  PTA member Lisa Van Ness and the Vice-President of the Board of Education, Bridget Mauro, stopped in to join us. 

Also on tap for the day, the teachers received further training on the Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) from Beth Cutrer, M.ED, who serves as a Coach for Targeted Reading Intervention and is a professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, teaching literacy courses to pre-service educators.

We also hosted the NJ Physicians Advisory Group's Adolescent Health Conference in our building.  Several PE/Health teachers from districts throughout the Morris County area were in attendance.  

It was a great day of learning for all!

I visited Mrs. Watson's Art Class this afternoon!  Some 3rd grade students were creating Picasso Monsters, and they were awesome!
