Primary Points to Ponder
End of October "The Greatest School and Land and Sea"
You Made It!
Our focus for the rest of the semester must be what is being done at the guided reading table. Are your students being held to the following responsibilities at the guided reading table?:
- Good readers use one-to-one (point at each word)
- Good readers use their reading strategies to figure out words
- Good readers apply their sight words to text
- Good readers look at text and not the teacher when reading
- Good readers make connections to text
Our goal is to have 90% of our students on Independent B....We can do this!

RtI Spreadsheet is Updated for all of October and 1st 9 weeks testing

Staff Absences, Tardies, Leave During the Day, Time Clock
If you are going to be out:
- Put in a TIME CLOCK request
- Staff who get subs-put it in AESOP
- The earlier you put in an absence, the better the chance it gets covered.
- Evelyn puts the information on Walker's calendar so we can make sure classes are covered.
- If it is last minute, text Walker at 903-738-6908 after 6:00 am so she can get coverage.
Coverage for Pre K Classrooms:
When a Pre K staff member is absent, we will send in help from 8:45-9:45 and 11:00-12:00. This will cover lunches and some instruction time.
