May 16th Celebration - Looking ahead, our PD on 5/16 will be our 2nd Annual Team Celebration day. Each team should be working on their 5-7 minute 'presentation.' Anything...okay, maybe not "anything"...goes as long as you're sharing your team's successes, goal work, learning and celebrations. We will also be sharing building successes and getting a jump start for summer and the 2012-13 school year. Finally...our 4th grade team will be send us on our way with some music. I've decided to let them choose their song so I look forward to them entertaining us! We hope to make it a fun afternoon of sharing and celebrating!
Scheduling for 2012-13 – A couple additional items worth sharing with everyone about scheduling for next year. First, we will purposely cluster ELP, ESL and SPED students again next year to provide co-teaching opportunities. Those teachers (or I) will be communicating those placements as we begin to build class lists. We believe pushing in to the classrooms during math and reading was a success this year and I have enjoyed seeing the data (observational and numbers) shared with me during annual conference meetings. Secondly, once again, literacy (including writing) and math will be at set times during the day for teachers engaged in co-teaching and those classrooms sending/receiving accelerated math students. It is a challenge to manage/coordinate all the schedules so I appreciate your flexibility! The SPED co-teaching schedule should be completed in early May. Questions – talk to Lindsey, Kristen R or myself.
Please check out (and add if something's missing)
Thanks to Lyndsay for sending me this. Made me laugh so I thought I'd share...
