STAFF TO DO:
- Touch base with every crew kid. Tell them you are glad to see them and ask how their week went. (These are the conversations kids remember the most!)
- Make sure you have at least 7-8 grades (content and habits each) by the end of this week. Update your grade books, we don't want to send the wrong message to students and parents.
- Provide time this week for students to practice NWEA. It may be the one thing that helps them achieve their growth goals and ask questions while practicing! (Good time for us all to re-visit their growth sheets!)
- Make students use complete sentences when speaking and writing, 100% of the time.
