From the desk of Lori -
* Please sign into the sub system and make sure it works, if not please email Lori so she can fix the issue.
* Mandated Reporter Training needs to be complete by 9/20/19 - make sure you go through your email, it came from Brit Insurance, it needs to be competed individually. (It does require you to pay attention and interact with the presentation, so plan your time accordingly). The following show that it has not been completed.
*Use bit.ly/HarrisonHub for all calendars and schedules (Please always check the Hub before you ask)
*Make sure you are putting in for subs if you are out.

REMINDER: Our common commitments from 18/19 are still very important as we begin to layer on the support for students.
SLT - Common Commitments:
As we move closer to a student centered classroom, remember it is important for students to problem solve and Productive Struggle is good. The person in the classroom learning is the person doing the work.....
As a first step, try to move closer to a 50% teacher talk/ 50% student talk model. (We need to increase intentional student talk/collaboration time)
As a staff we will commit to Intentional Collaborative Conversations.
“Intentional” means- grouping students together for an intentional purpose: giving certain partners or groups specific types of questions, and/or giving roles/jobs to particular students for a purpose in mind. (Such as a Reader, Writer, Illustrator, Reporter, etc… without giving a lower reader the Reader position, or shy person the reporter position.)
Within the Collaborative Conversations include using the 4Ls as norms, using sentence frames, complete sentences, and RACE as appropriate.
At the SLT we are keeping these common commitments, increasing student opportunities to focus on Speaking and Listening, and we learned about several new resources:
Math Manipulatives: Click Here
We will be walking around looking for math manipulative. Please invite us as you have a cool lesson!
MTSS- As you are finishing your BOY assessments, please start thinking about how you are going to group students based on need and data. If you have a large range of need work with your team and Sanci to help reach every student, every day.
Sanci is able to push in and support students as you are making groups- it may be beneficial to do rotations (centers) in your classroom. All students need to have access to the core so how are you going to ensure you are not taking struggling learners out of their core instruction.
All students should have access to the teacher through out the rotations even if it is just to check in. Make sure all rotations/centers have an accountability piece (how do you know what they completed? Is there a response sheet, online report, etc)
Rotation/center ideas for independent activities while you work in a small group(sample, not exhaustive list):
Dreambox
Lexia
Reading Plus
Zearn
AR
Read Works (at level)
Brain Pop
Writing
Independent Reading (at level)

September 20th:
K-2 will have a full day pull out to work with ELA and Math Staff developers for our first CST.
All teams will need DIBELS data AND booklets.
Any student in red (intensive) please complete the Phonics Survey Diagnostic Assessment (attachment was sent in email) This is an area that Sanci can support your in as well.
I’m looking forward to working with you on 9/20. Clarissa has asked me what data we would like to look at with regard to math. I ask that you please bring your latest mid- or end-of-module assessments from Eureka (depending on where you are on 9/20). Also, for 1st and 2nd, I’d like you to bring a recent Exit Ticket. I know that is a lot of student work to bring, but we learn most in math by diving in to student work to really understand where the students are so that we may best support them and move them forward. If you have any questions before 9/20, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll see you all on the 20th. ☺
Please see schedule below:
We will be using the following schedule:
7:25-9:15- Kindergarten
9:15-11:05- First Grade

We are scheduling our first round of CST (Classroom Study
Team). Each of you will have a 30 minute meeting with the team to discuss your
class, data, concerns, celebrations, rotations, interventions, and needed
supports. Please bring the following information to the meeting. The schedule
is below, we will send a rover sub to cover your class and we will try to stick
to the schedule as close as we can. If there are additional items you think
that would be helpful please reply all and share your thoughts. This is
designed to support you and your work. We need to serve every student, by name
and by need.
BOY data – DIBELS, math, reading, writing data (bring what
you have, you do not need to make an assessment for this purpose)
Software Reports – Lexia, AR, Dream box, Reading Plus (you
can print data, or just bring your computer will tabs open so we can talk
about kids)
EL levels
A list of students participating in any intervention
(Wonders Works, Read 180, small group)
There is no expectation for how you bring your data, some
people keep portfolios, some just have data sorted by type, it really is
designed to meet your needs to bring what works for you.

Construction Update:
As always construction is an ever moving target, please make sure all communication goes to Jessica and I if it concerns construction. Please do not talk to construction workers. Do NOT go on construction site, even if it is accessible, call the office if there is an open gate. The only time we are ever allowed on the construction site is with a hard hat and an escort - unless it is due to a student we need to get off the site.
