Vogel Weekly Update 2019-2020
The Greatest School because we are #bettertogether
Highlights of the Week:
Last week's SAE total = 60
Last week's TAE total = 17
Quote of the Week: "Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough." -Og Mandino
Generation TX Week Dress Up Days:
Monday- If you weren't a teacher...dress up in your back-up career choice
Tuesday- Wear your favorite college shirt
Wednesday- Wear Oak Ridge feeder zone shirt
Thursday- Wear military or camo attire

Thursday: 5th Grade Reading Benchmark
No alternative schedule. Accommodations and testing groups in boxes. Please ask if you have questions!
Daily Attendance:
TEA is watching attendance this year. There is no wiggle room anymore. Attendance must be taken at 10:00 am. Not at 9:50 or 10:05..... 10:00 am on the dot. The attendance reminder has been changed to alert at 10:00 am. If you have questions, please see Stacey.
If one teacher misses the 10:00 am deadline (meaning one teacher misses taking attendance or one teacher takes it too early or too late) the school looses funding for all students for the day. That is roughly $30,000 per day. YIKES!!!
If you have thoughts on how we can make this happen easier, please let me know.
Walkthrough Tickets:
We will continue celebrating the great instruction we see by handing out raffle tickets for walkthroughs. Some specific instructional practices we will be looking for are:
* small group instruction
* students receiving feedback from one another/student engagement (turn and talk, four corners, talking chips etc..)
* randomization (popsicle stickers, spinners, colored cards, etc...)
* using CHAMPS
If you have something exciting going on, invite us in. We'd love to come!
Reminders for Next Week
- Week One (5th grade ELA and 6th Grade Math) has Friday PLC this week.
- 5th and 6th Science have bus duty.
- Faculty meeting this Thursday at 7:45.
- All Walkthrough Winner tickets get turned it into the white/grey container in my office. Or bring them to our next faculty meeting if you prefer.
- Don't forget to respond to 504 and ARD invites on Outlook. That's how the counselors and Hailey know who will be attending. Remember only one teacher needs to be in attendance.
- Lesson plans need to be in Eduphoria by 8:50am the Monday of the week you will be teaching them.
- If you are absent, please send me and Misty an email or a text message. Discretionary leave for more than one person on a team on the same day will not be approved. Please check with your teammates before scheduling appointments. If you have questions or concerns, please let me know.
Students participate in a "Snowball Fight" to review poetry in Ms. Blanco's class.
Students are totally engaged in their learning in Guided Reading groups in Ms. Peters' class.
Students work together to experiment with force in Mrs. Helberg's class.
