I know we are tired. It's been quite a year and we are ready for some summer relaxation and rejuvenation. I completely get it. We do need to keep "in check" these last two weeks. You and your emotions control the space you are in. Don't forget this. Check your mindset and emotions every day. Check where your energy is going - are you gaining it or draining it?
Also, please remember that some students are not excited about school ending. We are their only safety, security, and predictability. We may need to re-teach many times over these last weeks, rather than respond and refer to the office.
Stay positive (write a Positive Office Referral!) and in control of yourself. Choose your energy wisely.
Let's do this - let's finish strong.
May 27 - National Sunscreen Day
Don't forget that next Thursday is a fun dress up day! Are you ready for shorts, sandals, and sunglasses? Get your wardrobe ready and get your (work appropriate) summer gear on. Prizes will be given to the most festive person.
8 Epic Ways to End the School Year:
Attendance:
We are running shorter and shorter on people as each day goes on. Please work hard to be here and close the year out with our students. I know, there are emergencies and illnesses, that require you to be away. However, please be aware of the sub shortage as you take time off. Each day, we barely get by with covering.
Sharing Instructional Level Information
Please pass along the BAS paper copy from March and the most recent reading record to the next grade level.
Additionally, please enter in the instructional level of each student for the end of the year into Infinite Campus by Tuesday, June 1st. You do not need to reassess students unless you are unsure of where they are currently. Here are the directions for entering these into Infinite Campus.
Last Day of Interventions:
Just a reminder that next Friday, May 28 is our last day for formal interventions (Tier 2/3 and EA interventions). That next week, our EA's will be supporting classrooms and assembling our end of the year/summer kits.
Teaching and Learning Summer Work:
Reserve the June dates for some summer work around literacy and Fountas and Pinnell. This is a great time to learn and develop our curriculum even more. Ann Mikkalson has sent out invites.
Building Weekly Newsletter:
It's going to be a warm one this weekend. Stay cool - but find something to do for YOU!
