Mondays with Munves
Staff Edition-October 16, 2023
Reflection and Q2
As we step into the 2nd quarter of the school year and the business that accompanies the end of the calendar year, take a moment to reflect on your personal and professional success within the last 9 weeks.
- What are you most proud of personally? Professionally?
- What have you learned about yourself and your students that you'll carry forward into the new quarter?
- How do you want to end the semester feeling? What actions will you take to achieve this feeling?
I encourage you to watch the brief video below and reflect on instruction. Which instructional situations were you "good in" and how do you know? Which instructional situations could you "be better in" and how will you grow to make changes in the 2nd quarter?

Together, we charge forward into the 2nd quarter.

iReady
The iReady window has been extended through October 27. Please ensure that all Tier iI and Tier III students take the math and reading diagnostic. Tier I students do NOT take the iReady diagnostic. Use the link below to make changes to your plan if you need to.
Upstander Award
We would like to show appreciation to our Upstanders in our school community who reach out and help others, make others feel seen, invite classmates to join in activities, and work to be inclusive. We will have a bulletin board where we will place the Upstander Award. Each week, teacher will give an Upstander Award to a student who reaches out and helps others.
Some examples are: including other students in recess, helping pick up someone’s stuff, and helping someone struggling with their school work.
Teachers will turn in their Upstander Award to Dr. V. and she will place them on the bulletin board. Each week there will be an Upstander Shoutout on the morning announcements.
