Bear Notes-Wk20 Jan.18th - 22nd
Serving kids. Growing scholars.
Note from the principal...
Team,
I don't know about you guys but I am looking forward to a great week! My hope is you enjoyed your extra day off and are geared up for a short week. Now that our data meetings are complete, common assessments and action plans are written, report cards distributed, and the majority of our parent meetings are behind us, it is time to get down to business. As you all know the second semester is crunch time! So this week, unlike other weeks is focused on quality instruction. Quality instruction truly is the game changer for our scholars. Whenever we plan purposefully and execute those plans with a sense of urgency our scholars win! Let's make sure we are continuing our focus on small group instruction, differentiating as needed. And speaking of small group instruction, last week I got the opportunity to observe two of our teachers Ms. McCraney and Ms. Harris conducting their small groups. Both lessons were well planned, meaningful and produced results! Nice work ladies!
This week please check your mailbox for your DOL tracker(s). Once you receive them please post them outside your classroom door. Also, reach out to your coaches this week for assistance. Don't wait until you are at your wits end to ask for support. They are here to support you and your efforts to move scholars. They are a resource, but can only help if they are aware of the needs.
Lastly, moving forward please post the actual TEKS alongside your LO on the board.
Have a great week! And find a way, big or small, to honor the memory of Dr. King!
