Climate Corner: February
February is a time for review of winter screening assessments. We use this time to reflect on student growth as well as any areas where progress has been slower than expected. While our initial focus will be on academic assessments, we will also review results from the Social Academic Emotional Behaviors Risk Screener. This is a brief questionnaire completed by classroom teachers that helps teachers and interventionists to better identify and address needs in this area and plan for adjustments to our Tiered supports.
As we do this, we are especially excited to welcome a new member to our Green Meadows team. Marisa Faneuff is our new Tier 1 Counselor. She began working at Green Meadows in January and will be with us two days a week to help support social emotional learning in grades preK to 2. Mrs. Faneuff will be using the Second Step program along with our other School Counselors, Mrs. Gelinas and Mrs. Benard. Second Step is a research based Social Emotional Curriculum with units that address topics such as Emotional Management, Empathy and Kindness, Problem Solving, Growth Mindset and Bullying Prevention.
Please stay tuned for more information about Social Emotional Learning at Green Meadows!
Welcome Mrs. Faneuff!
Welcome Mr. Lacharite, our new elementary music teacher!
