I have been in very few classrooms lately while completing summative evaluations, although I have really been enjoying this dedicated time to meet with each of you individually to reflect on the year and hear about the awesome student progress you are all seeing in end of year testing. Please make sure to take time to celebrate with your students on this amazing year you have had together!
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
- Do you want to use the Daily 5/CAFE Pensieve next year? If you do, please let me know HERE.
- There are quite a few books in the lounge to pass off into student hands. If you see any that you know your students may be interested please take them. Next week on Wednesday we will set out a table in the gathering area that you can send students to "book shop." If possible, please encourage children that you know don't have many books at home to "shop" for books.
- A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Porter for allowing students to check-out library books over the summer if parents turn in the parent permission slips. Students will get to check these out next week.
- Things to turn in to me by the end of next week: SAGE goals for K-3, reading benchmark data for K-5, any reading progress info that you would like to pass on to next year's teachers. Remember that some teachers use binders, folders or other methods, so as this comes to you next year, use what you find helpful and decide what you'd like to dispose of.
- Student porftolio cards for next year's class lists will be put in your mailboxes. You can hold on to these as long as you'd like (but they'll need to come out next May again) or you can give them back to me to keep safe until May. *I will ask Sarah and Marie help me remember where that safe place is this time. ;)
Reminders/Notes for Report Cards:
- Just a reminder that if a student misses a subject due to intervention, they should receive a "P" for pass (you must override to enter this) instead of the "*" symbol...if not, Mark will hunt you down for ;) To do this right click in the final grade column and select "fill scores." in the box that will appear, check the "manual override" box, check and enter a P in the Grade box and hit "Ok." Just a reminder to make sure you're saving as you type comments so you don't lose them and have to start over.
- You will not have to make copies of report cards for the cumulative files...we will print a 2nd copy in the office and Sarah will be filing those.
- There will be a yellow handout on summer reading tips/ideas in your mailboxes on Monday...please put this in the report card envelope. I'm hoping it might get noticed more being in the "official" envelope.
Need some last minute ideas?

| Chalk Talk - write a topic in the middle and have students comment around it. They cannot talk, only write! They go up twice. First they write something original, then they comment on it |
