The MAP fluency testing will be administered in the classroom. Please let me know ASAP if you did not receive 5 sets of headphones in the fall. You can administer the reading fluency testing to small groups or to your whole class. You can coordinate with Jacqui and Jeannie and your math interventionist to ensure you have extra support during the testing session or sessions. Please let me know if you have any questions.

PBIS assemblies -
January 17 - ER Staff Meeting - 6 classroom strategies and peer observations
Acknowledge inappropriate behavior every time. This doesn't mean that everything has to be written up as a minor or a major, but inappropriate behavior cannot be ignored!
PD during prep time
If you are given the opportunity for prep time make-up, it's completely ok to switch up your lesson plans and allow your students time on Lexia or Dreambox or MyOn. I know that Jen works really hard to give as much notice as possible, but sometimes there just isn't much advance notice. Let me know if you have any questions.
