Rountree Report
February 5, 2016
Inspiring moment
When Dr. Anderson and Dr. Dawson came to visit they stopped to talk to a 3rd grader. They asked him what he was up to. He responded "awesomeness". May we all seek to align our thoughts, attitudes, and actions to display our own "awesomeness". (This was a student that had experienced a death in his family of a very young aunt only days before).
MAP
Testing guides, practice tests, and testing tools for the MAP are all now available on the district website at the link below. Students need to be using the testing tools now. The more familiar they are with them the better prepared they will be. The testing window is April 11 to May 13. A schedule will be coming soon!
REMINDERS
- Our Ignite model classrooms will be deployed at the end of February. Be on the lookout for more exciting Ignite info and updates!
- Have your students completed their unit reflections. Are their binders up to date? It might be time to take some class time to get those completed and added.
- I would love to come and observe a lesson of your choosing this quarter. You might choose a lesson that highlights one or more of your growth indicators. It is up to you.
- Don't forget to use the Friday Feedback form in Google. I appreciate those of you that are using this form. It helps me to be aware of issues and to provide the support you need. If you have trouble accessing the form let me know and I will share it with you directly. https://docs.google.com/a/sps.org/forms/d/1pbn9VK85q0AQIQnIJPl92MbuBIQnsFlFPn63jFj4OV0/viewform?usp=send_form
