All Things Literacy
DRA/EDL
Based on what I have seen with DRA assessment, students read text well but have no comprehension/understanding of what they are reading. Comprehension is the District focus this year, so utilized those Comprehension Toolkits (grades 3 - 5). In PreK - 2 do many read-alouds with critical questioning/class discussion.
Writing
Make sure you are writing everyday in every content. Writing is the District focus this year in all content areas. I will be looking for content writing as well as writing process papers. Remember also to set up your portfolio system. This is for process papers (final copies) for every genre you teach and test (K-5). District personnel will be cruising through and looking.
CBAs
Our first window is October 13 - 16. Remember if you create tests, you can send either Denise or me the keys, and we can create bubble sheets for you. This way all data is stored in Eduphoria.
