Something to Aspire to...Mathilda's Solo
Possible Misunderstanding
- What do we want kids to learn? (TEKS, curriculum, learning objective)
- How will we know they learned it? (formative and summative assessments)
- What will kids who have mastered the learning? (pre-assessment; extension)
- What will we do with kids who don't master the learning? (Tier 1, 2, and/or 3 instruction)
Each week the team will spend their PLC time planning to address one of the above and/or analyzing and using the assessment data to guide instructional decisions. The authentic PLC process is structured and prescribed.

Lunch and Recess - Regular Schedule
May 27 - Field Day
May 30 - Kindergarten Graduation
June 1st - End of Year Parties
This schedule is a total departure from the normal schedule. The driving factor was to have the youngest children outside the earliest parts of the day. Recess is not included in the schedule as I thought you may want to have indoor recess given that you'll all be outside for party time.
