100th Day of School
Health and Wellness Corner
Teaching and Learning Corner
Upcoming iReady Benchmark: The week of Feb. 19th will be our final iReady benchmark before PSSA. As we prepare scholars for success on this benchmark, please begin to build momentum at the end of this week. During instructional strategy, we will discuss logistics for testing in the upcoming week.
Look Fors:
Instructional: Break It Down & Name the Steps: As you plan your model/think aloud, ensure that you are breaking down the procedure into a series of steps. Name each steps and stamp that knowledge for your scholars.
Cultural: Systems and Protocol: Ensure that you are following the systems and protocols in place for discipline in order to ensure that we are documenting properly. It is only when we follow protocol that we can hold scholars accountable.
