Happy Friday!!!
Housekeeping:
- Mrs. Otterblad will be here on Mondays and Thursdays to assist
with discipline and Intervention Meetings. She will be here Monday - Thursday,
this upcoming week.
- In your mailboxes, you will find certificates for completing Math PD in school, provided by Caden Palmer.
- Your support is needed in maintaining and addressing classroom behavior. The expectation remains that contact to a parent is to be initiated by the classroom teacher. IF a referral needs to be written, for egregious actions, be sure to email me prior (like you did with Mrs. Quattrone) so that I am aware that there will be a referral. Parents are afforded an appeal process, in regards to discipline, and that process is with me, so please keep that in mind.
Students as Learners:
- In Kindergarten, students were working at fluid math stations
working on Dreambox, telling time, 1-digit by 1-digit addition towers, and
several others. The students were highly engaged, took risks and assisted their
classmates throughout their learning.
-3rd Grade students worked on solving multi-step
multiplication word problems! I was truly impressed with the rigor, engagement
and facilitation of learning!
-4th Grade students worked on comparing and ordering decimals.
Students demonstrated mastery of the stacking strategy to identify ordering
and greatest decimal.
-5th Grade students were working on geometry; circles
& triangles. It is imperative that students master the formulas needed to
solve for a circumference, the radius, the diameter, etc. I learned a lot!
Leadership Opportunities:
- On March 4th we had several members of our staff present at the
BNVCTM Conference. I've received great reviews about the presentations and the
facilitators; Mrs. Palmer, Ms. Harrington, Ms. Erney, Mrs. Haefele and Mrs.
Rosas! Well done ladies!
Professional Learning Opportunities:
- Mrs. Hammel shared information about a Reading
Summit hosted by Scholastic in Herndon, VA on July 18. It's about
promoting a reading culture in schools. She went last year and she shared
that it was an "inspiring day". Here's a link to the
website with more information. It's hosted by the Bookfair section of
Scholastic, but it's open to all teachers and administrators.
