Area 2 ALT Program

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!  We hope that you all had a wonderful and restful break.  Now that we have returned, CRCT is right around the corner!  Thank you for the preparation you've been doing with our students. And, before we know it, end of the year wrap-ups will be knocking on our doors.  Let's all work together to make these last weeks engaging, memorable, and a poignant jumping off points for all the great new endeavors next year will bring. Remember, students' enthusiasm mirror our enthusiasm!

And, just because... here are some reasons for considering a trip to the Georgia Aquarium, if you haven't not done so already.  Maybe these guys will convince you to voyage on downtown for a personal outting, or field trip.

Spring Break

Schools are out for spring break, April 2-6.  Enjoy, relax, and be safe.  See you when we get back!

Georgia Writing Assessment

The Area 2 ALTs wish Area 2 8th graders the best of luck on today's writing assessment. 

Show 'em what you've got!

Good Luck Annette!

The Area 2 ALTs would like to wish one of their own the best of luck in her new endeavor. Annette has accepted an Assistant Principal position with LaBelle Elementary. While she will be sorely missed, we are excited at the opportunity which stands before her. It has been a delight to work with such a highly skilled, lovely person who is willing to go above and beyond in order to assist our students and her colleagues. And now, we are fortunate to continue to work with her, simply in a different capacity.  Annette, thank you for your friendship, your support, your infinite energy, and for the skill.

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent." Douglas McCarther

Winter Break!

A new-ish look

Area 2 ALTs are merging the website and the blog.  Therefore, as we input the contents of the website onto this blog, you may see postings a bit out of sequence.  We apologize for any inconvenience or difficulty.  But, use the sequencing errors as practice for your students - order the text in the timeline you feel suits the topics best. Ha - Always a teacher!

We are also altering some categories.  Instead of lumping resources together, we have made four new toolboxes - general (good for all to peruse), high school, middle school, and elementary school. Lastly, we linked PICASSO and the state department. 

Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Area 2 ALTs are wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving holiday. 

We've Webbed!

Area 2's website is up and running!  We would like to extend a HUGE thanks to Peter for creating the site.  Feel free to click on over to the Area II Teachers and check out who we are and all the great links that are (and will be) posted.
