Sunday Night Memo, 10/27/19

October 27, 2019

October is the longest month in the school calendar and we are quickly approaching the end of it!  Hopefully you were able to catch a minute for yourself over the weekend and get a well-deserved break.  This week, as we continue to deepen our CLT work, I’ve attached an article to continue our thinking about learning and what we want our kids to be able to do.  Do we want them to know a lot of facts (like the HS students who have to memorize countries out of context and forget after the test) or do we want them to know and transfer and apply?  It’s a shorter article than last week so it will be a quick read and a good conversation to continue with each other.
