It was a busy week wrapping up Fall LDA/Amira testing!   Teams also began or made preparations to begin W&W Module 1.  You're diving into new math units and learning how to leverage the new curriculum to support your teaching and student learning.   This week was another reminder of the legendary work you do each and every day.   HUGE kudos to our reading specialist team for wrapping up assessment and data entry for all students in just 8 days.  It's an enormous task they take one with engery and efficiency!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Next week, you'll get right to work with a strong start ot reading small group and STEPS.  We will take some time on Tuesday to review STEPS expectations and provide your team with time to plan lessons for the week ahead.

Roudin' Out Week One!

It was a great first week of school! Thank you for all your hard work making it a wonderful start to the new school year. I am grateful for each of you! Know that you are somebody special to each of our students and families! As we move into the second full week of school, continue dedicate time for explicit instruction in routines, procedures, and expectations.  If you expect it, pre-correct it!  Focus your time in positive reinforcement/praise (I like the way XXX has cleaned up their materials... thank you, XXX for showing you're ready) and explicit instruction of expectations.  Live in pre-correction more than re-direction.  :)   Our reading specialist team will continue administering LDAs and entering data to prepare for reading small group assignments later next week.  See more information below about the start to reading small groups!
