Welcome to our blog! I hope you all had a great week back at work. This week 3rd and 4th grade were able to participate in our newly implemented monthly planning day. They were able to accomplish several weeks of planning. Thank you to Mr. Maglio for putting the schedule together to make this happen! Please remember that you should be following your daily schedule. I have noticed that several of you have not been following your schedules or you are at least 15 to 25 minutes behind. Please make sure your objectives are current and your essential questions should be posted for each subject area. It is the expectation that you implement strategies and activities from your Partners in Mathematics training and indicators into your daily instruction. I have seen some of you use the activities from the trainings, however that is just a few. This is not optional, this is the expectation. Please make sure you are posting up quality student work. Several of you do not have quality student work samples posted inside or outside of your rooms. Please remember to do this.
Important Reminders:
- All Teachers in grades K-5 stated in PLCs that they wanted to improve in implementing small, cooperative groups according to their CWT data. We will be looking for evidence of this in the areas of math and reading.
- Remember to complete your data analysis sheet highlighting your strengths, improvements and next steps with your CFA data. Some of you only turned in your data. This is due by Dec. 8th.
- SMART Tutor Training during PLCs on Dec. 7th and 8th.
- Technology Demonstration Classrooms have training on Dec. 9th. (Promethean training)
- Please start your CFAs by Dec. 10th.
- If you have over 10 absences you will be required to provide a Doctor's note this is in accordance to school board policy.
- Please remember that we will be hosting a Holiday open house for our parents on Dec. 18th.
- Please remember to treat all staff, parents, and students with dignity and respect!!!
I hope it's ok for me to post this comment. Some teachers have been confused by the statement about starting CFA's by the 10th. To clarify, the CFA testing window was originally from the 14th - 18th. I requested that it be changed to the 10th - 18th so that there was more time to schedule classes in the lab for those who are using ClassScape for their CFA's.
