SRI/SMI Reminder from Mr. Miller
Hello All,
It is time for the final SRI and SMI. Grade two has to do the SRI and grades 3-5 have to do both. Please sign up for times to complete both tests. The sign up sheets are located in the Chromebook folder which I shared with you earlier this year. Once you have filled in the time you plan on testing please let me know that time. Tom and Debbie, if you need to do it during the first hour then let Bart know and change the calendar to reflect the change. The goal is to have every child tested by May 20th. The classroom teacher is expected to complete the testing themselves. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
John

Extra Recess Reminder
As we get closer to the transition to Summer, students need structures more than ever. Extra recess for long periods of time without structure or direction leads to- behavior problems, peer conflict, and interruptions to other classes who depend on the yard (PE, garden, etc.) which only makes your job harder!
If your students (and you!) need a break consider:
1) Mindfulness: You have learned many mindfulness strategies in the last year from your colleagues
2) Clean up break: Students love to help clean up and the break will help you get more organized for the move! Take 10 minutes and see how clean it can get.
3) Structured PE: Here's some good activities: http://www.sparkpe.org/physical-education/lesson-plans/elementary/
4) Quick 10 minute dance parties or yoga in your classroom
5) Keep learning and keep planning! If you are well planned, you will have plenty to do and will not need extra recess :-)
If you are rewarding your students with extra recess as an incentive, please do this sparingly and for no more than 10 minutes.
MOVING REMINDER
You are expected to keep everything in your classroom even if you do not intend to move to to SF. During the week of June 6, the auditorium will be set up to accommodate moving "piles".
The auditorium will be in full use through June 3 for graduations. Our office is very small and Ms. Lisa and Ms. Yolanda will have their own work to do to pack up the office. DO NOT LEAVE ITEMS IN THE AUDITORIUM OR IN THE OFFICE.
