Good Evening!
Here is the agenda for Tuesday's PD . This is a living document so some things may be added in the next day:

We will have Author Dennis Mathew visit us in a couple of weeks for K-2. We are doing a pre sale of his book. I will put order forms in your mailboxes to send home for students hopefully tomorrow. There is already one attached to the newsletter so you may see these start coming in. Please send $$ down to the office so we can keep track of the # of books. Please encourage the sale of the books as our cost for the author goes down with more sales.
I am trying to get in as many observations as I can in the next couple of weeks. Please feel free to shoot me an email if there is a specific day/time that you think would like me to come in.
Additional Staff Hired to Support Our Students
We also want to welcome back Ashley Buchanan, who will be teaching full time in the Therapeutic Classroom. This allows Mr. Jeff Totten to support our resource room in the afternoons at Beaumont.
M-Step Prep
If you haven't done so already, please go through the practice exams with your students. This is super important so they can get used to using the tools and navigating the test. Also, please send me your plan for prepping students for the upcoming test.

Indoor Recess:
Indoor Recess Guidelines:
1. Students may only be in their own classroom. They are not allowed to travel from classroom to classroom.
2. Students must be in a classroom- not in the hallways
3. Teachers- please only give 2-3 options for activities for students to participate in. Once a student has chosen an activity, they should stick with it the entire recess.
4. Please post their options someplace visible (door, whiteboard, TV, etc) for noon supervisors or myself to help manage your room.
5. Currently we are short-handed. If you have suggestions on how to actively supervise multiple classrooms, please share.
6. Any other feedback on lunch or recess is welcome.
