F&P Data ( Important re-occurring information)
We will need to complete F & P for 4th quarter on all of our students. The county has asked that you assess your “high flyers” first. This way our students who stand to obtain the most needed growth will have a longer window to grow and progress. Farise and Shannon have provided the following dates for when kits will be accessible and assessment will need to be completed. Please place these dates on your calendar now so you will be ready to conduct the assessments in a timely manner.
4th Quarter Dates:
Kindergarten: May 9th - 23rd
1st and 2nd: April 23rd - May 8th
3rd grade: May 14-May 25
4th grade: April 16-20 and May 7-11
5th grade: April 23-May 4

Bringing Historical Fiction to Life
Arinna Brasher and Stephanie Bruhl are incorporating ELA & Social Studies standards along with choice driven culminating projects. They are using the Holocaust novel, Hana's Suitcase, to encourage reading, teach standards, bring history to live and allow students to create artifacts of their own learning!
