Weekly Launch
October 15-19
Reminders/Announcements
-Please remember that all morning work(if you are doing it) should be finished by 8:20! Students should not be sitting at desks doing worksheets past that time. Instruction/morning meetings need to begin at that time.
-We have a new deputy. Deputy Jarma was only hear temporarily until they hired all the positions. Our new deputy is Deputy Bodie. He recently retired from HPD. His wife is a teacher at Goforth Elementary. He is excited to be a SLO officer!
Our Watch D.O.G.S. program is in full swing. We had our first Watch DOG Friday. We have three this week. I will be putting the Watch DOGS name and teacher and block teacher on the calendar each week. Please remember that you do not have to give them a specific job to do-they can just sit and watch. The point of the program is to get the dads on campus. Most of them have no idea what their kids do each day and are just excited to see what is happening on a normal day. Use them during recess as another set of eyes to watch the kids. Our dad on Friday really enjoyed his day :0)

Curriculum Corner
Please make sure you are using all the new resources from the district(shared reading big books, little books, power of patterns etc.)We are fortunate to have these and need to be using them!
-Dreambox-we are doing really well with Dreambox. Please make sure to encourage your students to complete their lessons and assign focus when necessary. They need to be finishing standards. They should average around 3.0 standards or more a month to ensure they get through all of them by the end of the year.
-Be sure to use Flipgrid, Seesaw or It's Learning(4th/5th) to share student's work! This is a district initiative. Please share with us all your great ideas for using these tools. I love how Heather Patterson is using SeeSaw to help document a student who is in the process of being tested. It is a great visual of how the student is performing in class.
