Progress monitoring is essential to seeing how our students are performing. Make sure you are on track with monitoring. Also remember to update your data sheets in the lesson planning folder.
TRC Progress Monitoring
Now is a good time to progress monitor students in TRC as well. We have put texts from the old TRC kits on OneDrive for your use. See me to get a kit.
TRC Assessments
The TRC Assessment Window opens April 29 and continues through May 24. This is a tight window for us since we must finish in order to have all hands on deck for EOG testing. Here are the dates set for TRC testing-
- 3rd grade: April 29 - May 2
- 1st grade: May 6 - May 10
- Kindergarten: May 13-17
- 2nd grade: May 20 - May 25
- 4th grade transition: we'll weave them in.
CKLA and ARC Materials
- Please count your CKLA materials as soon as you receive them and let me know if you need extra materials. It takes a couple of days to receive the materials from the warehouse. The sooner I can alert them, the better.
- Monitor ARC materials and make sure your count matches the inventory when you receive the new unit. Also, have a little pep talk with your students about caring for the books. Bins range from $200 - $400! Toolkits and special bins are roughly $450 - $600! Let's take care of them so our budget doesn't have to go to replacing destroyed materials.
Murphey Needs Mentors
New teacher support will be offering a final face-to-face mentor training for teachers that would like to become mentor trained this year. This training will take place Saturday, April 6th from 8:30-12:30 with a 1 hour take home product at Laughlin. Participants will receive certification as a GCS trained mentor by participating. We hope you will use this opportunity to recruit and prepare for the mentors you will need for the 2019-2020 school year. Teachers may register in Performance Matters with the course number #10387.
