Greetings Fabulous Elementary Faculty!
I hope that you took time to enjoy the extra day off this past weekend whether it was doing some of the fun Gator homecoming activities, traveling, or just relaxing.
Here is what our week looks like:
Writing PD Recap:
- The K-5 focus for writing that we came to consensus on is: Constructing good sentences as defined by the ELS.
- Something to think about is not making this the focus of instruction but rather the expectation for our students doing writing in any subject.
- Guiding questions for us to think about are: How am I addressing the ELS? What am I noticing about the student work in my classroom?
- Finally, in two weeks on 10/28 come with three student writing work samples preferably not from your writing block. Please bring a sample of above grade level, on grade level and below grade level sentence construction to share with your vertical grade level team.
- Questions? email Ashley P.
Tuesday:
- 1st grade trip to the pumpkin patch
- SAC please get your grade level team info to Macy for the elementary division report.
- 4th/5th LC meeting with the portable design team
- 3-4:30pm Kagan
Thursday:
- Research in Action
Friday:
- All CBM data due to Marisa
Coming Soon/Announcements:
- Please send me the name of the teachers from your grade level that will represent you for the 11/5 elementary parent math night. I need to get these names to the business office to get you stipends
- Kristin Weller is going to be stopping by Math blocks in the next few weeks. She has taken on the roll of our elementary Math lead teacher this year and wants to stop by to see Everyday math in Action.
- Ghost and Goblins: If you are participating on our secret pals I believe the basket ended up in the front office by Shirley Ann. Please stop by to pick out a name on Tuesday and start your gifting on Wednesday of this week.
- Please remember to check the faculty school wide calendar online at the very bottom of our website before submitting paperwork for field trips or planning any special events. We have run in to two major conflicts this year because we are are not looking at the calendar. Unfortunately, if something is on the calendar and it conflicts with a field trip or event you will be asked to change your date.
