We are sad to say that tomorrow's Dr. Tremblay's last day of his Barbieri Residency! We have had a great time having him with us in our school. From lunch supervision, to bus dismissal/arrivals, lunch duty, reading to students, visiting classrooms, participating in admin meetings, etc. We have done many things!!! We look forward to tomorrow and know he will be back to visit very soon!

Kindergarten students are studying the “What is a scientist” unit. They will participate in an in-house field trip where they will explore the ocean and view and touch live sea animals! We’re excited to participate in this sea life adventure on 10/25 during the school day! There are no volunteer opportunities for this event. However, you can volunteer for the Ultimate Hawk Challenge and many other events, please contact the PTO!

Thank you to our PTO for sponsoring this learning experience!

A consultant from SchoolWorks joined the Barbieri Administrative Team to complete classroom walkthroughs and calibrate the data we collected from our visits. During our visits we focus on small groups instruction, the classroom environment, meaningful content, staff interactions with students, students to students interactions, etc. Below are our findings:

Barbieri School's Areas of Strengths:

• Most classrooms had established clear routines with positive adult to student interactions
• Most classrooms have a comfortable learning environment with positive behaviors
• ALL classrooms had every adult in the classroom working directly with students
• ALL classrooms had a clear separation of language (English/Spanish)

Barbieri School's Areas of Growth:

• Limited student groupings
• Limited student to student interactions
• Differentiated instruction in groupings to allow for productive struggle (extension/intervention activities)

Parents/Guardians Conferences in October will be held in person. Teachers can extend a phone call/ google meets video call option to parent/guardians if this is more convenient. Teachers should already be in contact with families regarding scheduling. Please reach out directly to your child's teacher for more information.
