What an exciting year! This first week

was pretty smooth. What a fantastic
staff that we can help all of our kids feel
comfortable here so quickly! Good work!
On our minds right now are books! We
have hundreds of books coming in. We
are so excited to get great books into
your classroom libraries and into the
bookroom for teachers to share. Getting
great books into the hands of kids is the
best way to get them to be thrilled
about reading. As soon as we get the books stamped and organized, we will be pushing them out to you!

Next Week
I wanted everyone to remember that there will
be community time on Tuesday Morning. 4th and
5th grade teams will be meeting for morning collaboration.
Teachers - if you have not video recorded your
case study student during your reading assessment - you need to plan to do that today or Tuesday so we have it ready for the Wednesday Late
Start. On Wednesday grade level teams will be
watching your video and scoring your student
with you.
On Wednesday - Classroom teachers please

bring:
1) Your video
2) 3 blank copies of the BFA recording sheet
for the student you recorded.
3) You prompting guides (1 and 2) and your

continuum of literacy ( all 3 books are pictured below).
We are super excited that Rosie is

bringing student council to our school!
Teachers in grades 3,4,5 please get
your nominee to Rosie by Sept 18. We
were thinking a good meeting time for
student council will be on Wednesdays
at 10:10? First meeting is Sept 23.

Teamwe have been sharing lots of
documents with you in our recent PD
please find links to them on the 15-16

file lines, quiet voices, 3 tiles out!

Data Sheets
Data Sheets are ready to go for classroom teachers. They can be found in the Nellie Muir Share
folder under NM data. We have moved back to
the old model of having teachers on tabs and 1
sheet per grade level.

Sacred time
Teachersplease remembers to avoid making appointments Thursday afternoons. I will not approve flex time
on those days since it is our staff meeting time! - Thanks!
Technology update
We should all have 10 devices
and every teacher should have a
desktop or laptop as their teacher device in addition to their
Chromebook. If you dont have
the technology you need talk
with Todd. If your technology is
not working correctly talk with
Marc!

2) Lesson plans should be named using the following convention:

Using this uniform process will help me sort and
manage lesson plans.
