Lower Campus' Weekly Update
Sept. 11-15, 2017
Inclement Weather
Even though we are having some windy, wet weather, I hope you are taking the time to enjoy your family and catch up on rest, movies or whatever you enjoy! Stay safe!
Aliens visit 2nd Grade!
Special thanks to aliens, Glib Glab (Alyssa) and Block (Elizabeth) for taking time to visit Heidi's second grade classroom to learn all about planet Earth. The students made brochures describing a season and what happens here on Earth with plants and animals. Glib Glab and Block selected a winning brochure from which they learned the most. The students and aliens enjoyed the visit! Thanks for being so creative Heidi and motivating your students to show what they know!
Tier 2 Interventions
Thanks for getting your student intervention plans in last week! Tier 2 interventions should begin this week. If you do not have baseline data surrounding your specific goal for the student, please collect that this week so you will be able to have at least 1 piece of progress monitoring data by the end of the month. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Literacy Support
This week I was going to begin walk through observations during your literacy block times with Kim Day from the Schenck School. The observations are just to gather information. They are not evaluative or punitive in any way. We will be sharing the feedback with you and using the information to make adjustments to our literacy program to make it stronger for our students. Observations will be rescheduled and I'll keep you updated! In the meantime, please no dog and pony show! Do what you do! :) We want to get a true picture of where we are and where we need to go to improve.
