Math Manipulatives by module for Eureka Click Here -
Please invite me in for a math lesson when you are using math manipulatives.
ELA Family Night 4/18- 4:00-5:30- Please let me know if you are interested in working this event, we need about 5 staff members.
REVISED::
Ms. Lynn Carmen Day to visit April 26th from 8:00-10:00 (she typically wants to see writing and spends time looking at the classroom environment)
Please remember we are not packing or taking anything down until after her visit. In addition to her wanting to see your instructional environment, it is disruptive to the students and they lose focus.
SLT - Common Commitments:
As we move closer to a student centered classroom, remember it is important for students to problem solve and Productive Struggle is good. The person in the classroom learning is the person doing the work.....
As a first step, try to move closer to a 50% teacher talk/ 50% student talk model. (We need to increase intentional student talk/collaboration time)
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.
At the SLT we are keeping these common commitments, increasing student opprotuinites to focus on Speaking and Listening, and we learned about several new resources:
Additionally, there is a comprehension intervention that goes with Wonders.
Staff Meeting 4/23
Everyone meet together in room 23 - Ms. Fortin
3-6 will discuss CAASPP
TK-2 will start making classes for next year
everyone please bring your Student Profile Sheets
* We have a team getting together 4/22 to pre-place some students based on specific need. Directions will be provided for making classes for the 2019-2020 school year.
* Library and READ 180 will end 4/26
Wonder works ended 4/12
Combo support, Reading Lab, Gateway and Early Numeracy will end 4/26 (Some may end earlier Please ask them for further clarification)
Maira will stay and continue to support K-2 as needed to administer DIBELS EOY
through May 17th. Please work directly with Maira as needed.
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.
END OF YEAR CORNER
For teachers not returning next year, please give Shelley your Danielson books so we can pass on to the new teachers.
Parent Request - This year we will not be sending home the traditional parent request forms, however, if they inquire - they may put their request in writing and submit it to the front office.
Some high needs students will be pre-placed in classes (there is always space for a conversation about these students) - but the majority of the students will be placed in classes created by the teachers. For example, the second grade team will create the classes for the third grade teachers. (Pre-placement meeting will be 4/22)
I do not change the classes- and you will get the copies of the Student Profile Sheets that are completed by teachers. (Previously called Pinks and Blues)
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.
Grades 3-6 can take down room environment for the CAASPP after Lynn's visit on 4/26 - you do not need to put it back up.
*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.
