Principal Brief
The Fundamental Five
Excellent job with lesson frames. I see goals and student products posted! Keep up the great work with framing the lesson.
Conferences
Krista and I are looking forward to meeting with you over the next few weeks. Please bring with you; data you have collected, a plan for how you will meet your students' needs, goals for your growth (we will ask about writing!), and strategies and action steps that you are implementing.
Walkthroughs
The best part of my day is being in your classrooms. You show passion for what you do everyday and it is contagious! This week will be a hectic one, with lots of professional learning. I am looking forward to seeing how you will implement your new learning so that your students will continue to have the best.
Celebrations
RTI team rocks! Thanks to all of you for meeting individual needs. The first 9 weeks we are beefing up Tier 1 instruction. Document what strategies you are using whole group and we will continue to monitor student progress.
Each first grade teacher has set up a class facebook page! Awesome way to communicate to parents the great things that are going on in your classroom.
