On track...
The definition of track - 1: trail left by wheels or footprints 2: train rails 3: awareness of a progression
Five weeks in , we are on the right track. Instruction is on target, small groups are going, computer programs are up and running, we know our students are we are learning how to motivate them. I am so proud of the work you are doing. We have seen great instruction in our first round of walkthroughs. Will Roger said, "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." We are off to an amazing start but don't let up. Push your students and be intentional with your instructional day. No time to waste.
Keep your students on track so that their year and yours is both successful and enjoyable.

We will discuss practice 1, Frame the Lesson, from The Fundamental Five book as well.
