Issue #6
“Take 5” is a weekly update containing information related to teaching and learning for today and beyond...
Take just 5 minutes (or less) to look over these resources and see what might be helpful for your and/or your students. Better yet, set aside at least 15-30 minutes a week (yes, that's been increased from last year!) to focus on finding resources and ideas that will improve student learning and prepare them for their future!
===================================
Extra Help for Neighboring Schools...
Perrysburg Schools is asking for your help in voting for their Pepsi "Refresh Everything" grant.
Tips and Tools for Teachers - A daily vote online (at http://www.refresheverything.com/perrysburg - you'll need to set up an account first, but it's fairly painless!)
- AND a text message vote (text 103023 to Pepsi at 73774, you will get a reply text letting you know it went through).
- Maumee's Wayne Trail Elementary also has a project up for voting this month, so feel free to use your 10 daily online votes for them as well, if you'd like! A few seconds of your time could help benefit our neighbors...
- ComicMaster - Students (or teachers?) can create your own short graphic novel! -- http://www.comicmaster.org.uk
- Cyber Safety Week (Oct. 3-9) – Although only a couple days left in this week, keep this Ohio Attorney General's site in mind -- Click on the Cyber Safety Toolkit. Plus, attend a parent training seminar on Thursday, October 7th at St. Rose in Perrysburg at 7pm. More information is on this flyer.

;-) Just for Fun! (and a little learning, perhaps)
- Still Waiting for Superman? - It's always important to develop ALL skillsets of our students... and Superman, too! Who knows what future employers will find valuable.
