What you've all been waiting for...

I know that we thought we had our class lists set at the end of the school year, but with staff changes and 1st and 2nd grade each dropping a classroom some of the lists have been changed. You all still have access to the google doc of class lists. Any students that have moved are in red font to make it easier for you to see changes. For those of you that have already been excited to look at student data in Educlimber...the tags that identify who are your students this year may be wrong, because I have NOT changed them since making changes in the google doc. I do plan to work on that next week. 

If you haven't already checked my memo site, the schedules are up (under the tab for Schedules)! These are also available to use in your google drive folder "DES Staff Handbook." Some notes for you about the schedules: 

• There is a google spreadsheet for all schedules pertaining to teachers and a spreadsheet for support staff schedules. At the bottom of each spreadsheet you can find a tab for each separate schedule.  They are not fancy/pretty schedules being in this format, but they are easily accessible.  
• Please do not laminate them just yet.  I'm not planning to change anything, but I'm realistic that additional eyes looking at them will find mistakes that have few pairs of eyes may have missed. You will get copies of all of them in our first week back. 

What about your classroom schedules for reading, writing, math, WIN, etc?

• You will make your specific classroom schedule for each subject, but please try to stay within the core schedule framework (for some of you with odd specials times, I know this is not likely). 
• Please try to follow the minutes of: 60-90 minutes reading, 45-60 minutes writers workshop, 60+ minutes math. Yes, science/social studies can be every other day or even just one subject for a unit and then switch to the other subject for a different unit. 
• You will see that the schedule for WIN allows for some cross grade level collaboration. Just imagine the possibilities that this will allow!
