Friday Focus - November 13, 2015


Great Things I Noticed This Week:
*Students writing positive comments to others in their small group to recognize what they noticed in their writing.
*First graders writing with transition words in their writing of a how-to book.
*Students recording themselves reading their published piece of writing to go along with the picture taken of their writing so the writing and their reading of it is all together in one digital piece to be shared with others (and their parents).

Events Next Week:
Tuesday - Tech Tuesday Office Hours in the KASCADE room 3:15 to 4:00.
Wednesday - Grade Level Meetings and Workout Wednesday :)
Thursday - I will be out of the building
Friday - Staff Social Lunch (5th Grade/Kuhn)

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*For Grade Level Meetings, please plan to discuss reading...
It's easy to get into the routine of Daily 3, going from round to round, easing up on mini-lessons for reading strategies. Please plan to discuss what reading strategies you're going to be focusing on in the next month as a grade level. Also be ready to discuss your lowest readers; what strategies you are focusing on with them. Please bring what is necessary to share with your colleagues and have access to for our discussions (i.e. CAFE chart, lesson plans, reading group info, running records, etc.)

*Nov 16-24 we will be collecting non-perishable food items for The Gathering Source.

*Mrs. Breselow will be sharing information soon on The Giving Tree so that if you'd like to help purchase Christmas gifts for a family in need you can plan to shop on Black Friday.
