Reuther’s Intellectual Character by Ron Ritchhart Book Club is taking twitter this week!  Check out the conversation about chapter four on twitter with #rmsICbookclub 

At last week’s SIP meeting, several examples of how the UA teachers are using VT strategies in their classrooms were reported by the awesome Jason Shafer.   Be sure to stop by and check out the headlines from Lisa Saraniecki’s seventh grade classes on money management.  This department is on fire!

Check out the “What’s New” on the Think from the Middle website.  Two new additions have been added this week.  Maybe your video will be next?  If you are using one of these in your classroom and are willing to be recorded or send us pictures, we would love to add them to the website! We are looking for videos/pictures on the following routines:

o   Circle of Viewpoints
o   Claim, Support, Question
o   Compass Points
o   Peeling the Fruit
o   Zoom In
o   And many, many more!  

Be thankful for only one more day of school this week (and all of the other blessings in your life!)
