In Case You Missed It:
We are coming to the end of a semester. This is a great time to have kids purge papers not needed in your section of of the binder. Select the items you believe they need for the second semester and End of Grade exams and purge the rest. I've seen teachers start a new classroom table of contents and put the "must keeps" in the beginning and renumber. Make time for this in your classroom and help students that have a notebook that is busting at the seams. If you have someone that has misplaced their agenda, please email the appropriate counselor. A new one will be placed in your box. According to our school-wide expectations, student buddies are checking binders weekly and teachers are spot checking at mid-quarter and end of quarter. Remember to provide time daily to write in the agenda and put papers in the binder!
During the day tutoring will begin on Tuesday with the second semester. Anne Knuth and Jasmine Green will have 14-16 students on A day in room 824 working on iReady and providing extra interventions when necessary. Most students identified need assistance in reading and math, but some need help in only one area.
Our new girls H/PE teacher, Brianna Simmons, will begin on Monday. Please make sure you stop by to see her and welcome her to SanLee!
