Staff,
I have been so proud of what I have been seeing when dropping in for visits during your Jan Richardson guided reading lessons. I got to most of you before spring break, and I have a few visits to get in now.
I've been impressed with your lesson preparation and the vast majority of the components of the lesson plan being covered during your instruction. At our staff meeting on Tuesday, you will have time for guided reading lesson planning, after watching three short Jan Richardson videos on reviewing sight words, introducing sight words and introducing new vocabulary. Primary teachers you'll focus on the sight words and intermediate teachers you'll focus on the vocabulary. Be thinking about what you're doing well in these areas and what you might be able to start doing after these video refreshers.
Hoping you are feel rested and rejuvenated when returning tomorrow.

Forward Exam, Guided Reading Planning and Staffing
Staff,
Our Tuesday staff meeting will be for all staff who are involved in proctoring the Forward Exam. We will need to meet promptly at 8:00am in the media center, because the test administrator training video is about 40 minutes long.
K-2 teams on Tuesday morning will be working in their PLC spaces to plan guided reading lessons together. Amanda McCarthy will be checking in with the K-2 teams, starting at about 8:15am. All other departments can use this typical staff meeting time to lesson plan.
NH PTO has their March meeting at 6:30pm on Tuesday, and I believe this meeting is still open in regards to staff signing up to attend. Finally, on Friday I will be meeting with grade level teams projected to be going down a section for the 19-20 school year to discuss staffing. After work on Friday, I will also be communicating out our grade level teams for the 19-20 school year.
