School Improvement Planning Through Rising Star
Our focus of differentiation will be on three tiers of an assignments during Core Instruction. We are using one task to tier for this school year and utilizing March and April staff meetings to share out and reflect on the tier activity. Collaborating with our colleagues will help us all have a big picture of what is going on across the building and give each other ideas to implement in the classroom.
Educator Quality: ID13 Instructional teams meet for blocks of time sufficient to develop and refine units of instruction and review student learning data.

How Do I Fit It All In During Literacy Time?
Many of you have said you were not sure how to fit everything into Literacy? I encourage all of you to review this plan and reflect on your current literacy plan to see how this aligns to what you are doing. Jenni A. is willing to collaborate with you to help support you through this to make it a reality if you are identifying this as a need.
I'm so lucky to work with all of the staff at Husmann...an awesome group of caring and dedicated people! -Jenni Atkinson
I am lucky to be working with Lynn Casey. She is so supportive of and encouraging to my students. I love how she celebrates great moments with students by having them ring the gong in her classroom. I love being in her classroom! Beam
I am so lucky to have Kim Nelson to help with the kindergarten students. She did an awesome job working with two of the classes to help them learn The Little Engine that Could Sing.
We are lucky for our staff that represented us at Culvers!
