Year 75 in the books!

Way to go, Stinger Staff!!  You wrapped up our 75th year with smiling faces and happy hearts!!  Our students are leaving behind the school year reaching new academic goals and making great personal growth.  Each of you continued to bring your best into the classroom, helping our students shine the brightest under your instruction and leadership.  On this long weekend, I hope you find time for rest and reflection on a job well done this year! 

GREAT LAST WEEK!
It was a busy last week of school with all the walks, awards day programs, EOY festivities, etc.  Thank you for your hustle and hard work to make the last week of school smooth and successful for our students.

Fall MAP & SOR Coaching Week = JEANS!

This week brought the joy of familiar routines to whole group and small group instruction!  Our students have settled so well into your high expectations for learning.  We saw small group instruction start right at the skill level appropriate for each student.  Next week during the SOR coaching week, we will review best practices for STEPS Lessons, HFW & Oral Language.  STEPS will provide the framework necessary for our instruction to "move as quick as it can, but as slow as it must."  Your lesson preparation during small group reading will ensure adequate practice opportunities (30+) are available every day for students to read and write words aligned to the target skill.  If you would like support planning for reading small group lessons, reach out to Mary Claire (K-3) or Katy (4-5).   On the math front, Katy shared district resources available on Schoology to support math instructional planning.  If you find you would like more time to...
