I just wanted to give you a last minute heads up that I will be absent from the classroom today. I am one of our schools representatives on the instructional leadership team (ILT). Usually once every month or so I will be out of the classroom for ILT duties. Today is one of those days and I will be meeting with other ILT members at Kealakehe middle school in Kona. I have left plans for the substitute so the class should be able to carry on just like usual. I will be back in the classroom on Friday.
