BSE in the spotlight!
"Amazing how a simple conversation between educators can spark a cross-curricular, global, enduring learning experience. Thanks to Mrs. Kussy & Mrs. Robinson (3rd grade) from Brooks School Elementary for writing up this incredible HSE21 project to share with us, to Mrs. Patrick (BSE Media Specialist) for the video story, and to the many third graders who, through Wikispaces, are teaching the rest of us about some wonderful, insightful books!"

- Coordinate with Rich, Haltom, or Gumina for any 504, ENL or SPED accommodations.
- Allow breaks if students are showing they need it!
- Proctor well, walk around, encouraging words, slow students down, speed students up!
- Plan ahead for headphones, Ipads, an extra adult.

Thank you for your diligence with interventions, enrichments, and progress monitoring. All students receiving support in T2 or T3 for literacy, behavior, or math must be discussed these dates in order to continue services in the fall for the 2017-2018 school year. Many students will also be dismissed at this time and a celebration as NWEA scores will help determine growth from fall to spring. Please come prepared with the following:
- NWEA scores (fall and spring)
- AimsWeb notes (we will pull data up on screen)
- Patterns/changes noticed
- Plan for exit/continue service
- Current Assessments (F&P, Moby, Behavior Charts, etc.)
Fountas and Pinnell Reading Assessments
It is your choice to use the digital or paper assessment, however please make sure you are benchmarking, not progress monitoring with a reading record from LLI.
- Students in RTI must be completed by May 12 (to be discussed May 15/16).
- All student data must be entered no later than May 23 (stay tuned for Excel shared by Megan).
Field Day at BSE!
