• Math and Reading RTI/MTSS should be taking place 5 days a week, even amid teacher absences. This 30 minute block of time should be thoughtfully planned to address critical content needs, fill gaps in understanding, and extend learning for all students.

• Staff breakfast & snacks for the day will take place on Monday, November 21st. Sign up sheets are in the mailbox room. If possible, start conferences after 9 to enjoy breakfast with coworkers.

• See Ms. Ross if you have childcare concerns during conferences.

It is our goal to have two lessons shared each week- remember, you don't have to follow a pacing guide or use the exact scripts. Lot's of teachers really liked the cards that come with the kits and talked about facilitating whole conversations from them.

• For the 2nd quarter, we will try again, with implementation beginning the week of November 28th.

ELA Rock- Phonemic Awareness in First Grade

• We only missed this goal by 1 student! Our goal was for 51% of first graders who scored red on the phoneme segmentation assessment to increase proficiency levels. The result was 50%. We are very excited about this growth!
• Goal for Quarter 2: By focusing on explicit phonics instruction, 51% percent of 1st grade students will either increase proficiency levels or maintain grade level proficiency on the DIBELS 8 Nonsense Word Fluency Assessment.

Performance Standard 5, Professionalism, is only discussed during the Summative Conversation.

The ratings and indicators can be found below. Please keep these in mind as we move through the remainder of the school year.
