11 more days of instruction...
Jan 7- PD thinking, planning ahead....
Each team will meet as a team in the library. Primary, you'll attend both 45-minute sessions, so that everyone has an opportunity to participate. We'll give you a more complete agenda closer to the date.
During the February Wolf Howl the ELA side will meet.
Literacy Closet has a new home!!
We're moving ALL the literacy closet books to the book room. Hopefully, while a bit farther away, you 'll be able to get in there now ANYtime during the day, which we heard was a concern. While we keep adding to our book selection, I just wanted to reiterate what was shared in PLC last week.
We still have ALL of the scholastic books (minus two for appropriateness) that have always been here. We did cull the numbers, meaning instead of keeping anywhere from 30-60 of each title, we went down to 12. Knowing that we wanted to increase with F&P to align with BAS and other measures of assessment, we literally didn't have room, unless we eliminated numbers of copies.
Those copies are still available for you and can be great options when you use your flippy flip chart and your template from Jan Richardson.
Please don't continue thinking they have been thrown away. (Said in bold so it must be important!!!)
Morgan's Musings
December 21st Scheduling
A few things to note:
- It is an early release day. There is NO PACK on this day.
- It is Polar Express Day.
- Your homeroom class needs to stay with you the entire day until dismissal. Please do not switch classes.
- Students are counted present as long as they are checked out after 9am:)
When removing a student from WIN, please do not delete their name (documentation purposes). Instead:
**Highlight their name and strike through. That way we can still see it, but Patty knows this means they no longer stay.
Here is the link.
Shout outs!
2nd grade math, we are in AWE of your gesture to support your ELA counterparts! Thank you for stepping up and taking ALL the kids so they could BAS!
Jennifer Hunter and Jessica Travis have had ALOT of afterschool obligations in preparing for a new ELA adoption. They didn't get paid and a lot was asked of them...thank you, ladies!!
It is incredibly heartwarming to watch team's step up when there is a need. Morgan asked for lunch duty help with the rash of absences we've seen, and she was showered with offers! (Shout out, Mrs. Meyer!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!
