Earth Day T-shirts-Order by February 28th!!
Good afternoon everyone,
A flyer about Earth Day shirt orders was placed in your box today. A portion of the proceeds will go to funding 5th Grade Camp!
These order forms do not go to the office. Mrs. Shaffer and Miss Cragun will be handling the orders. Please collect all forms that you receive from your homeroom in the morning and send them to us all together. If you could do a quick check for exact change and blue or black ink on checks, that would be helpful. We will fill out receipts and hopefully get them in your boxes by the end of the day.
Pre-K, Kinder, and 3rd - send orders to Mrs. Shaffer (room 510)
1st, 2nd, and 4th - send orders to Miss Cragun (room 610)
5th grade - give them to your teammate ;)
The deadline of February 28th needs to be adhered to! We are getting a special price and it is only available for a short time.
I'm attaching a color picture of the shirt since it didn't copy very well. Please show it to your students so that they know what it will look like.
Again, thanks for your help and for supporting 5th grade camp!
Miss Cragun and Mrs. Shaffer
DUE FEBRUARY-SLO Progress Check
Remember: As a team develop your common student check-in activity. After administering the common activity, meet as a team to discuss student work and to rate your students on where they fall within the Targeted Student Profile (TSP). Record this progress check on the Student Growth Tracker Form under Column G: Progress Check-in #2.
GT Hour OPTION from Mr. Galloway
Teachers can login to EduHero and click the “Gifted & Talented” link on the menu to access the G/T courses. Each course is worth 1 hour. After completion of the total number of hours they wish to take, the teacher can send me a screen shot of their “My Learning” under their profile. I will issue them a certificate for every 6 hours. If they took 3 hours with Region 20 and then 3 more hours with EduHero I can combine that for a total of 6 hours. These courses can count as an update or for Days 4 or 5. Here are the list of the approved G/T courses in Eduhero.
