This week we welcome the Silicon Valley Education Foundation's ELEVATE Math and Science Program with the addition of two math classes and one science.Gabriela Sarrato and Wonderly Peralta will be teaching math in rooms C9 and B1 respectively and Josh Small will be teaching science in BE3. We welcome them and the foundation into the summer fold.

I will add a video or thought or pod cast here and there that I bump into that may or may not be of interest to you but if you have time... view, read and listen when you can and if we bump into each other you can let me know what you think. Or comment on the blog... I like new, somewhat controversial thinking and not just out of the box but sometimes just precariously edgy thinking... say, on the edge of the box. Technology, education, brain science, new world issues, thoughts and problems....
So, to that point... here is an interesting podcast I listened to this morning on the WNYU's "NOTE TO SELF" podcast... "The Bi-literate Brain."
Question(s)... why does digital reading seem so different then paper reading to a lot of us? And... should we be concerned or is it just us "old fogies" that have the problem...

Okay, back to Summer School...
Technology:
I have a request for Elmo's (or need to make work)... Room B-14, B-17, BE-4 and C-9... anyone else? Computer needs to be hooked up in B-17 as well. (more?)
Maintenance:
AC in B-16 is not working (more?)
Supplies:
There is paper in the library to get you going. grab a couple reams. I was instructed to have you look online with Palace Arts, (I believe this is the site... I'm going to double check on Monday) to see what your needs are to order up to $50.00 per teacher. If you are close but over, let me know so we can discuss. Write out a list with item number, quantity and price and send an email to Sheri Lynch at: sheri.lynch@gilroyunified.org and you should receive your order within a couple days.
***************************************
We will be generating a phone list and a "rules" list as I related to the students on Friday. Please do as much in-class discipline before you send a student to the office. I may give them the "one-on-one" talk once, depending on the egregiousness of the offence before I suspend. And the student may just sit out for a time to get their priorities straight!

That is all for now... I'm sure I forgot something, so if you know this or have a question anyway, let me know! Thanks, Greg
