SPECIAL CURRICULUM EDITION
"Important Curriculum Information for All"
Block Scheduling- This year we are aligning our beliefs that all children can succeed and created a daily schedule where intervention and enrichment can take place throughout the school day without missing any essential learning. (Please view this presentation that was used during our meeting over the summer for background information and purpose.) You can view the block schedule here. Please keep in mind this is a work in progress and changes may continue to occur. Support staff will be filling in the support column where student's will receive services too.
We understand this week you are building your community of learners and may not be following this schedule. Our goal is to have this daily schedule in place relatively quickly because support staff would like to begin servicing students soon and do not want to disrupt essential learning.
F&P Assessments- All classroom teachers need to do a reading assessment on their new students to the district. F&P kits are in the book room located in room 33 feel free to pick one up. You're welcome to keep it in your room or return it to the book room. Please let Susie know if your kit is missing any materials (or leave a post-it on the box stating what materials are missing). Click here to review the district Literacy Assessment Plan to plan your reading assessments for your other students in your class.
Student Information- IRIPS for your students are located in their CA60s as well as Powerschool. Illuminate is also a great place to check out if you want more data!
NWEA/MAP Information
Please review emails from Margaret Hendrickson that have step by step directions on how to create a testing session, run/pause/suspend, and end a testing session.
It is important you prepare your students for testing (Margaret sent info on this and it will be in your testing folder). Please watch the Welcome to MAP video with your class and provide time for students to take a practice test.
