Love, Grow, Teach, Eastside
Week of February 20-23
Eastside Mission
To Do List for the Week:
1. Use your Qball this week! All K-5 teachers and Ms. Paula Wallace's room has them installed. We love to see and hear how kids are using these in the classrooms.
2. No team meetings for the next two weeks. Make sure you administer your CFA during these two weeks and score it. (Block staff continue working on our summarizing CFA with your students. We will bring these summaries into our team meeting in March to look at them.)
3. Turn Parent Teacher conference sign in sheets into Ms. Patty when completed. If you had parents that did not show for conferences, contact them to see when they would be available to meet.
4. Make sure your classroom doors are locked at all times. Ms. Wallace and I found several doors unlocked or completely left open this past week.
5. Global PD this week. View and comment on this 5 minute video. (Thank you Ms. Gordon and Mr. Hope for this suggestion.) https://globalpd.com/search/content/MTM=
6. MAP PM will be grades K and 1 this week. Dibel PM for K-2.
7. SIT commenting on grades 3-5.
8. Turn in your new idea for Planned and Tried for February/March to Mrs. Wallace. These slips were placed in your box last week.

Reminders/Updates
- Please fill out the Summer PD (Round 2) survey before the end of the day on Tuesday. This will help me to let everyone know the dates this week, so you can plan accordingly. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-21IrBRgkmYTs1SduHMDbAEGuF2vbQ650Iu7faSnp2bthHg/viewform
- Eastside News: Ms. Barnhart's fifth grade TAG class will be sending out the news for the following week on Thursdays. Everyone needs to watch the news within the first couple of minutes of arriving to class from PROWL every day. While students are watching the news, you can take lunch count, role, and have students mark their attendance in their data folder. Observe the moment of silence following the news. Instruction will begin at 8:30.
- Reading lesson plans need to be on your reading table. Your lesson plans need to be out visible on your desks, so we can easily look at them. Make sure you are meeting with all students daily that are not on level. Also, be sure that you are using their instructional level during reading group not their independent level.
- Make sure your classroom door is locked at all times. Help out with any subs around you to keep their doors locked as well.
- EES Gets Fit is under weigh. Cross Fit has offered free sessions for EES staff on February 22, March 8 *Classes will start at 4:00. Jazzercise has offered free sessions for our staff as well.
