Welcome the FRPS F&PA Blog's Baby Sister, the FRPS F&PA Podcast!

on
Above: My Daily Motivator, David Goggins, reminding us that whatever you do- be it teaching art or music, be GREAT.  Don't just be Ms. or Mr...  Be THE GREAT Ms. or Mr.  :)

 As you know, I am always trying new ways to streamline processes and information...  I thought that one way to "upgrade" the way I communicate with the team might be to do a Podcast that you can listen to, either on the way into work, on the way home, or while your on the dreaded treadmill...  Whenever you need/want it- It's here!  I will post the link to it weekly.  On some days, it might be nuts and bolts, and on others, something a little more "inspirational."  My goal is to use it as a platform for communication, but to also interview teachers, students, and working artists/musicians.  This week, it's just me with some calendar items and a big, old WELCOME BACK!

 Here it is!  https://anchor.fm/jacqueline-francisco

 If you would also like to see what I am discussing, here's a summary...

On the Calendar:

  • On Friday, January 18th, we will be at the end of Term 2.  DHS Teachers will be preparing for new students in classes, as well as some middle schools!  Best foot forward for the new groups, and get those routines, relationships and working expectations set!
  • The Department Meeting for DHS will be held on Tuesday, January 8th after school.  We have been asked by Matt Desmarais to brainstorm attributes for the DHS Graduate...  I would like to do that but also link those skills and attributes to the courses we teach.  Stay tuned for more deets!
  • The Faculty Meeting for DHS will be the following week, on Wednesday, January 16th.  
  • The K-8 Monthly Department Meetings will be held on Thursday, January 31st!
    • Weaving and possibly chalk pastel demo will be done on that day for K-5 Art (location TBD), K-5 Music will meet to share lesson plan ideas at Letourneau, and 6-8 will meet virtually.  All meetings will be held at 3:45.
  • All City Band and Orchestra are COMING!  The concerts will be held on March 26th and 28th at Durfee, but practices will begin as soon as the week of January 14th.  Itinerant teachers will be preparing students and families for these weekly practices during lessons.
Short week, short blog!  

Have fun with the Podcast!  Next week, I will be interviewing a surprise teacher guest on "Teacher Evidence Binder Prep for Dummies."  Stay tuned for some solid info and a few laughs...

Thanks!
Jackie
