STATE CHAMPS!
I have scheduled a staff meeting for Thursday morning at 8:25. I would like to take the opportunity to celebrate our school grade as a staff and discuss our grade in greater detail. Breakfast will be provided. We will also celebrate on Wednesday, 11/26 with a coffee cart.
The two articles below are great reads. Please engage in continuous professional development by reading these articles and trying new strategies in the classroom. Remember that quality instruction and the infusion of literacy strategies have the biggest impact on student achievement. Don't forget to also sign up on the peer observation document. Have a great week!
Peer Observations
Please sign up soon. We need more teachers to open up their rooms so others can observe.
Advisory
Week 14
11/18: HAC CHECK/Read/Monitor Goals
11/20: Brain Lessons: Day 2On 11/18, students should be reading a book of their own independently. Students should not be doing HW during this time. On these days, teachers can conference with students and check their progress on HAC. The expectation is not to meet with all students in one advisory period, but to eventually get to all students over the course of several advisory periods.
