Early Release and Track-out

Yesterday, all Timber Drive staff participated in professional development following our early release.  We began a three year journey to increase our integration of global instructional best practices in all classrooms.  Our training was facilitated by VIF International Edcuation.  During the 2012-2013 school year, our teachers will focus on globalizing our classrooms, understanding cultures, investigating internet and society, connecting globally, and blogging in our classrooms.  This ongoing training supports our implementation of the Common Core Curriculum and North Carolina Essential Standards.

Thank you to our many parent volunteers who helped with dimissal in order to provide our teachers with time for professional growth.

We also wish to thank your PTA Hospitality Committee for providing us with lunch yesterday.  It was delicious!

Our students and parents loved the annual kindergarten Teddy Bear Parade.  It was great to see so many Timber Drive parents here for the event!

Finally, we wish all Timberwolves a happy and safe track-out.  Remember to HOWL everywhere you go and read EVERY DAY during track-out!  We look forward to seeing everyone back at school  on Monday, October 22nd at 8:45AM.
