It's The LOVE Month (Time to Get Out and Share the Love for Teaching and Learning)
This month (and the first week of March) you will have the opportunity to visit some of the best classrooms in the city--your colleagues' classrooms at Pershing!
If you are NOT on-cycle, you should have received a calendar invitation for your scheduled "Love Month" Visit. If you did not receive an invitation please see Mrs. Holmes.
If you are on-cycle, your supervising administrator will schedule a time to go with you.
You will choose a classroom you would like to visit and we will randomly draw for a second classroom to visit.

MAP Grade Level Assessment Window: April 11-May 27
Below is a link from QIA with information regarding MAP. Our focus at this time needs to be on letting students utilize the MAP tools so they are comfortable with the testing process. One SPS MS is having students utilize the tools in science and social studies so the testing burden is more evenly distributed. Think about how your grade level will make sure the students have exposure to the process.

(Just a reminder, we will draw for a Starbucks $5 gift card from the nominations at our faculty meeting/learning session on February 9th.)
