Literacy Information from Mrs. Baker
Many of you asked for me to come into your classroom this fall or for some help with different things, if you have some goals that you would like for us to partner on I'd love to hear from you. Shoot me an email and we will make it happen!
Reminders:
- Initial On Demands for your first writing unit should be completed and scored by August 25. (3-5 these should be completed as an assignment using the rubrics in Canvas/ k-2 you should use the data tracker in the literacy module of Canvas. ) If you need a refresher let me know.
- There are new instructional targets for this school year. I think you will find them a little more manageable as you plan for your guided groups and individual conferences. https://rockhill.instructure.com/courses/938/files/3115353?module_item_id=712597
- If you are a classroom teacher and you do not have/or checked out a copy of The Reading Strategies Book or the Writing Strategies Book please see Joely to do that this week.
If you would like for me to look at this with you I will be glad to help.
Becoming ELITE...
Complaining
Everyone has things to complain about - if they choose to - that's life. You are guaranteed to face daily inconvenience or people doing things you don't want them to do.
Complaining about it feels justified and productive in the moment. It may be justified, but it isn't productive. What should you do instead? Anything! Do a push up, sing a song, take a deep breath...literally, do anything but complain.
