Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*5th graders incredibly engaged in a book club discussion. They had come prepared with several pages marked with post-it notes, ready to share parts they connected with, made predictions or had questions about.
*Students asking to meet with me to find out how to publish their own books...they came with a plan about a book they are all collaborating on together, each writing from different character viewpoints in a google doc together. Talk about student passion, engagement and personalized learning!
*Kindergartners literally diving in to math (picture a kiddie pool with balls of math facts to dive in for to solve). Talk about making math fun to spice things up!
Events Next Week:
Monday - Mid Quarter, yes it's already time to send home progress to make sure parents know how their children are doing in this final stretch of the year!
-Monday's Staff Meeting has been moved to May 22nd.
**That's all I see on the calendar...am I forgetting something?!
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
End of the year assessments...
(don't stress, think of how much you'll get to celebrate!)
*The MAP window IS open and ready for your class. 3-5th likely will still want to wait as you're recovering from Forward. MAP testing will need to be completed by Thursday, June 1st.
*Math AIMSWeb will also need to be completed by the end of the year for 1-5th. 2-5th grade teachers you will be given the login info for your students next week. 1st grade teachers-Mrs. Stanton will be pulling your students for 1:1 testing.
*When you complete F&P, please add the instructional levels to the google doc so I can enter them in Educlimber.
Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!!!
