Here's hoping you all had a chance to rejuvenate either locally or at some exotic destination. I was able to mark some things off my honey do list: painting Heather's home office and Griffin's room while also ordering his bedroom furniture at the Treasure Island Casino furniture market.
We hit the ground running this week on Monday (Day 6) and Tuesday (staff meeting) with your most pressing literacy planning/preparation. Again here some of the suggested planning ideas.
- Writing planning (K-2) to support new binders
- Supporting K-5 above level readers – guided reading complexity of the F+P continuum (within, beyond and about the text)
- Writing about reading: digging into this tab in the F+P continuum
- Informational and/or opinion writing
- Whole group/small group planning using the F+P or MAP continuum
- Planning around increasing the frequency/quality of turn and talks during mini-lessons (see Amanda for support)
- Utilizing running records and comprehension interview to access students’ instructional levels (Amanda and Kara can support)
- Planning for guided reading
- Next steps with SLO actions
Friday is an early release designated for you to work on progress reports. Please remember to update your independent and instructional reading levels also on this day. The March assessment window is important for your instruction because we are removing the mid May update. Instead your last reporting will be done at the end of the year. This will be used for Title One determination, SLO and SMARTgoals and to share with next year's teachers. With all the May assessments, we felt this would give you more flexibility on when you complete your year-end F+P assessments. Here's the progress report schedule for next week.
Finally remember to wear husky gear or blue and white on Friday for our morning All School Meeting. We will be taking an all school photo which will be included in our school yearbook. Again I hope you had a wonderful break, and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
