Power Up, Staff Meeting and All School Meeting

Staff,

Here's a few reminders for the week. Even though we had the winter warm up, our Power Up Challenge officially kickoff is this Tuesday. Please refer to the NH Staff Bulletin for your scheduled time. At our staff meeting on Tuesday, we will reviewing the Love and Logic five step problem solving protocol and introducing some quick classroom interventions for problem behavior (many of these you already use.) The second half of the staff meeting will be team time focused on guided reading planning and problem solving. Specialists please bring planning materials also.

On Thursday, our common planning time will be in Kara's classroom to focus on ELA and math progress monitoring. Dr. Oullette will also be here for his second listening session from 1:00pm-3:00pm. Finally on Friday don't forget our All School Meeting starting at 3:00pm.

Jan Richardson Staff Meeting Thursday

Staff,

     Keep your fingers cross that our weather will be better than predicted on Tuesday allowing conferences to go on as planned. After tomorrow all six of our grade levels will have had their second round of Jan Richardson guided reading training with Carolyn. On Thursday, our staff meeting will have an ITS update and time built in for you to dig into any of the Jan Richardson video tutorials that your grade level team feels would be the most useful right now. Below is a video tutorial on accessing the videos and one of my takeaways, from the PD I attended, regarding aligning the Jan Richardson comprehension strategies/modules to our ELA curriculum priority standards.
