Week 27

Crafting Our Future Together

Week 27

Please Note:

All students who are to be marked tardy are tracked in the office on a tardy log and will come to class with a tardy slip. If a student does not have a tardy slip than they are NOT to be marked tardy unless you verify with the office. Auditors verify all students marked tardy in Aeries against the office tardy log and we must have an exact match. We appreciate your attention to this very important detail.

*Read Across America! Thank you PTA and all the teachers who made this such an wonderful day of literacy celebration.

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. Please do not start packing or taking items down until after May 3rd.

*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. 

Please see Lori for boxes and tape when it gets to be that time. 

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

Information for CAASPP to come at staff meeting 3/5 and full discussion and review training at 4/2 Staff Meeting.

TENTATIVE CAASPP TESTING WINDOW : (Draft Schedule at this time)
Grades 3-6 ELA April 29th - May 3rd
Grades 3- 6 Math May 6th - 10th
Grade 5 Science  May 13th -17th/ Make-ups
Make- Ups for all May 13th - May 24th (If necessary)

It is likely that we will not have library and READ 180 for the month of May due to construction and testing. Please do not schedule any field trips or invite/plan school wide activities from April 29th - May 17th if it will impact those students 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.

*Manipulatives should be out and used.

-Instructional Time is valuable, please make sure we maximize every minute we have with our students. Make sure your activities all day long are addressing the Standards.
