- Lesson Plans - Lesson plans should be up-to-date on the first student day of each week.
M-STEP Preparation – 3rd & 4th grade teachers, please make sure you have signed the M-STEP Proctor form and placed it in my mailbox. With the beginning of the 3rd & 4th grade testing window only a few weeks away, please be sure to continue laying the groundwork for a successful testing experience by working with your students on the M-STEP practice items. Parent informational letters should have been sent home last Friday. Please be sure to access the M-STEP Supports Request Form so we can plan for accommodations to be made. If I have specific questions about your requests, I will be sure to come and talk with you.
- Earth Day - Earth Day is Monday, April 22nd. Please make sure you are recognizing this day with your students per federal requirements. We will also be recognized as the first Accredited Green School in the Great Lakes Bay Region on this day. We will have a flag raising ceremony at each school.
