Faculty Meeting, December 15/16
As you read pgs. 43-64, I would like for you to think about the application to your upcoming Units of Instruction and embedding high-yield instructional strategies. We will process steps 5 and 6 at our meeting.
Grade Window Opens
Literacy Library
If you are aware of old books or books that need to be replaced let me know. I have a parent volunteer who is going to complete an inventory of books and identify old or missing literature sets for us to replace. Also, if there are any sets you feel we should order, let me know this as well!
Watch as a 5th grade student designs a code for Minecraft!

Celebration!
Ms. Lindsay Lawson will be joining us on Monday to begin co-teaching with Chris as he transitions to Sweeny. Lindsay comes to us from JTSD in Nixa where she student taught in a 5th grade classroom. I had the privilege to observe Lindsay in her classroom and was impressed with her ability to form connections with students while holding high expectations for learning. I know you will all welcome Lindsay as she jumps on board mid-year and amongst the Christmas chaos!
