Happy Friday!
I hope you had a great week of students, learning, and happiness!
The above quote is so true. I would add staff to this, too. Think about the past year. We've learned, grown, cried, and been pushed to do different things. We continue to show up, even with these challenges. That is true hope. Keep being that hope dealer!
Interventions:
We are busy finishing up winter benchmarking. A huge thank you to Libby and our EA team for making this so smooth! Once we finalize this data, we will prioritize interventions for students which will be led by Gia Davison and our EA team. This work is coming soon - just know that this is a work in progress until we get all the data completed.
Also, next week, EA's will be assigned to grade levels during the day (see Justin's email). This would be a great support time for those who need extra help - reading aloud, sight words, math facts, or just overall assistance. This is temporary, but please have a plan for the EA's during the assigned times next week.
Hearing/Masks:
This past week, I had a conversation with a Speech Language Pathologist in the district who shared that studies are emerging about wearing masks and students' hearing. We know this - when you wear a mask, it muffles your voice more than without. She shared that one easy thing a teacher can do is use your microphone/sound system. I thought this information was interesting - just sharing!
Lighting Issues:
If you are experiencing any lighting control issues in your rooms, please email Orrie Anthony (district electrician) with a description of the problem(s) ASAP so I can address them individually.
Social Media:
Social Media:
It's so great to have students and staff back in the building! Let's show the world the awesome things you are doing on a daily basis - get back on Twitter and start showing the learning, fun, and excitement of your classroom!
