EnRICh Update
EnRICh for students in Grades 2-5 will begin the first week of November. We will have a 6-week experience for students this semester. Each teacher in grades 2-5 will teach an EnRICh lesson on Thursdays from 1:00-1:50. Please get with your grade level chair for more information on what this would look like on your hallway. We know how busy everyone is right now, so Hannah McCauley and I are working together to provide the inventory of learning experiences, along with the 6 weeks of plans. We are working to tie in as many of your standards as possible so these experiences serve as additional exposure to your learning goals. Of course, if you want to do something that is not on our list and create the plans...you may do this. Or, if you want to select something from our list and modify the plans, that will work, too. We are trying to eliminate any extra work for teachers at this time. Listed below is our timeline to begin our sessions by 11/1.
1) Online applications will be ready by Tuesday morning, October 19th. We will send you a link by Monday afternoon. Please use your IE block time Tuesday or Wednesday for students to apply for the learning experiences they are interested in. Their applications are due by Friday.
2) A summary of learning experiences will be sent to teachers on Tuesday. Please look over these and see if something sparks your interest or passion. We will talk about these on Wednesday to determine who would like to facilitate each session. We will finalize who is doing what by the end of the week.
3) The week of October 25-28, we will go through student applications and finalize the rosters for each session. We will make badges for students to wear to EnRICh each Thursday, with their session name & locations. Students will be informed of their EnRICh session by Friday of this week.
4) October 31-November 2, teachers will be provided with the rolls for their EnRICh session & EnRICh badges for their homeroom.
5) Thursday, November 3rd - EnRICh begins!
Remember: We are just providing you with the details so you are aware. We will provide you with step-by-step instructions at each point in the process. I think you are going to love this hour on Thursdays and I KNOW your students are!
