Happy Friday!!!
How are we when we come to 'Individual Accreditation'? Tier I Instruction is most important! We need to ensure that our students are receiving great initial instruction! How can I or Ann be of support?
Housekeeping:
- We had an Energy Audit on Monday, December 5th, in the evening. We scored a 70% and I know that we can do better. The following items need to be implemented to ensure that we are as energy efficient, as possible:
1. Adhering to the Shut Down and Log Off expectations: Computers and Monitors were still on; 2. Lights: Lights were still on in the classroom. I am asking that although there are sensors, that we become more accountable by turning off the lights if we are going to be out of our rooms for more than 5 minutes. Sensors can burn out or the fuse may be damaged so let's do our part.
- Administration will be completing audits on wearing PWCS Badges. If you do not have a badge, on your person, be sure to obtain a visitor's ID from Ms. Ramos or Mrs. Slaughter.
- Remember to adhere to the Winter Break Energy Saving directions!!!
- Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites: https://prezi.com/_qfax338fiv5/worksheets-dont-grow-dendrites/ You're expected to review this link and implement the ideal of the person doing the most movement is the person who is doing the most learning!
Highlights of the Week:
- 19 Pre-Conference, Formal Observations and Reflective Conferences of Probationary teachers took place this week! I observed great instruction that was highly engaging and student friendly!

Students as Learners:
- Ms. Filipowski: Students working on using multiplication to solve division problems. Students worked diligently to validate their strategy and proved it as they worked during the whole class review of morning work!
- Miss Terezon: Students were HIGHLY engaged and attentive to the co-taught instruction of Mrs. Findley, Mrs. Malik and Miss Terezon! I was thoroughly impressed with the differentiation of activities, movement and routines! Students are thriving!
- Miss Fernandez: Students completed the W-L in a K-W-L chart about frogs. Students were able to compile a list of things they wanted to learn about frogs! The students then offered suggestions for more nonfiction books because they liked learning new things.
- Mrs. Mayers: Students demonstrated mastery of a tens frame. The students thrived in the structured environment that provided differentiated activities to keep them engaged and reinforced skills and concepts. The implementation of Conscious Behavior is alive in this Head Start classroom.
