Week 31
Great Things From the Week:

TK/K interviews - Thank you Marci and Shannell for helping to get these done.
STEP Team has completed all of their IEPS for the year! (as of now :))
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)
SLT - Common Commitments: (UPDATED)
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.
*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.
* Indoor recess or PE ideas Click Here.
* Please sign up for the Eureka Training for your grade level through the PD Hub.
* Danielson Training Dates: Take your Danielson Book (Please trade with someone if you can not make your training date)

DANIELSON REVISED!!!
4/9- Loder, Egana, Pham, Shay, Unzueta, Franczak, Patterson (Simone)
Gallup Survey Results - bit.ly/Gallup18-19
Information for CAASPP to come at staff meeting 4/2 Staff Meeting.
We will not have library, READ 180 and 3-6 interventions for the month of May due to construction and testing. Wonders Works will end the week of 4/12, all others will end the week of 4/22.
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)
More information and directions will come but I want to start the communication.
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.
