April 30th

 



Our Academic Super Bowl is here. I am excited that our students get to show the things that they have learned this year, as well as show off the hard work each of you have dedicated to each student. Please remember that the more excitement and hype we as adults bring around MAP the more confidence and excitement our students will have as they approach the test.



Also remember as we conclude testing on each day, that is a great time to review skills, deepen concepts and bring awareness around academic standards. We must keep the academic rigor and expectations up because if we don’t, there will be an increase in discipline.



Celebrations

 


Elementary Color Run was a success! (Safe Community) 

MAP test Pep Rally! Mrs. Coffman, Mrs. Shoulders, Mr. Cook and Mr. Campbell shows off their skills. Also, thank you to Mrs. April and Mrs. Megan for their hard work. (Safe Community and Global Society)

Instructional



PLT Team Meetings:
We are moving from Question 1 to Question 2 of the PLC Questions.

What do we want our kids to learn? (Essential Standards, Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum)

How do we know they learned it? ( Data, Common Formative Assessments, Formatives, Summative)

What do we do when they don’t? (Interventions-Tier 2 and Tier 3)

What do we do when they do? (Extensions and Enrichments)

Objectives should be posted somewhere permanently in the room and those objectives should be referred to often to maximize student learning.
