Staffing and Construction Update:

*Staffing and moves have been released to the entire staff. I appreciate your professionalism and willingness to work as a team. There are going to be so many moves this summer, Carlos will be limited in the extra work he can do, please be gentle with him and his schedule.

*Students will get unfocused as soon as they feel summer is on the horizon, please make sure you are not taking down walls or packing too early. It is important that we stay focused and don't leave before we leave. 

*Rooms 3,4, and 5 have to be completely empty for construction. 

*Rooms 1,2,6,7 and 8. You can leave items stored as long as you don't need to get to them before Winter Break. 

SLT - Common Commitments:

As a staff we will commit to Intentional Collaborative Conversations.

“Intentional” means- grouping students together for an intentional purpose: giving certain partners or groups specific types of questions, and/or giving roles/jobs to particular students for a purpose in mind. (Such as a Reader, Writer, Illustrator, Reporter, etc… without giving a lower reader the Reader position, or shy person the reporter position.)

Within the Collaborative Conversations include using the 4Ls as norms, using sentence frames, complete sentences, and RACE as appropriate.

SLT for HILT March 7th!

Gallup Survey Results -   bit.ly/Gallup18-19

It is likely that we will not have library and READ 180 for the month of May due to construction and testing.

If you know a student is going on Independent Studies during their testing window please let me know ASAP.

*We are committed to teaching all four parts of Eureka Everyday: Fluency, Application Problem, Concept Development, Debrief.

*Goal is a balance of 50% teacher talk and 50% student talk.
