from Jennifer Oliveira

The report card window is open for business as of MONDAY, MAY 13. Here are a few reminders:

• Here is my extensive Assessment and Report Card documentwhich is designed to answer all of your questions. This document is updated often.
• Remember all report cards this year will use 8.5 x 11 paper and are 2 sided with grades on BOTH sides.
• TIP: Use a text editor (like Word or Google docs) to type your comments, then copy and paste into Illuminate.
• Remember to SAVEoften!
• If you’re new to Illuminate and report cards check out more informative videos about entering grades – Learning and Innovation website, click on the Assessment tab, then Illuminate Resources.
• Chrome, Chrome, Chrome
• You will have 750 characters (including spaces) to write your comments. It may look like you have more space but you’ll only have 750 characters.
• If you are using the Standards-based Gradebook, this document will help you connect the grades to the report card.
• Attendance and other heading data will be populated by 5pm on Wednesday, May 31st.
• Reading Assessment Data– Please CLEAR your filters then search “fountas” or “DRA”. Use the 2018-19 3rd Administration.
• Reading Assessment Data should NOT go on the report card as in: “Jennifer has improved her reading level from level 12 to level 16.” You can include behaviors students ARE exhibiting, and are not yet exhibiting, to support family understanding about reading process and development, as in: “When Jennifer is reading, she uses sounds and meaning to help her read fluently.” OR “When Jennifer is reading, she uses sounds, pictures, and meaning to help her read fluently.” Page 11 of the Assessment Document talks a little bit more about this rationale.

• NEW! 6th Grade Teachers– Sweetwater has requested any reading assessment information we can provide. Plan on placing in the CUM folder the most recent DRA or F/P running record assessment, the summary page (including texts and scores), and any other information you think necessary.

If you anticipate having any trouble meeting the June 4th report card closing date, please schedule time with your principal to input report card scores after that date. 

ILT:

Thank you to Karina, Laura, Monica, RoseAnn, Holli, Angelica, and Dave for representing us at ILT.

By July 1, the first two revised math units of study will be available.

From Angelica…..

I’m currently attending ILT and have been inspired by some great information that has reminded me again of “why I teach”  and how we as a school can  work together to bring out the best in our students. It’s a collaboration of teachers, administration, and community (home). I hope you find a few minutes to browse through this information and especially watch the video that will hopefully fill your heart with joy. Enjoy.

(FYI- have a box of tissues close by)

“Students in high-performing urban schools believed their teachers cared, in part because students perceived that their teachers taught challenging academic content, insisted upon good behavior, and demanded high-quality work. ”

Focus on Reading Instruction:

Recently, 3-8 grade teachers participated in a three part series of after-school Professional Development facilitated by our Literacy TOSA’s.  The series focused on reading instruction – specifically, how to meet the needs of our diverse readers in responsive small group instruction.  A variety of small group structures were presented, including:

• Interactive Read Aloud (highly scaffolded to build comprehension).
• Shared Reading (supports students with the reading process, word study, fluency, and comprehension).
• Guided Reading (supporting students to move to the next reading level).
• Strategy Groups (strengthen the work of the unit and support the needs of students).

For continued support with providing small group instruction to meet the needs of all students, contact your Literacy TOSA.

Quote of the Week:

Wow! I am so impressed with the classroom clean outs that have been happening. Thank you for your hard work. I am getting excited about the new furniture (and opportunities) that are coming our way!

Staff PD:

We will meet in room 23 from 1:40-2:40 for a Principal PLC.

Student Model United Nations Update:

Thank you to Shelly for coordinating this week’s meeting! Your Model UN representatives passed a school-wide initiative to help fund water projects around the world.  This organization donates 100% of the proceeds to bring clean water to areas in our world that lack this basic need. I know we are extremely busy, but if time permits, please take a few minutes in the afternoon to show the video for this organization to jump start our coin drive.  The organization is Charitywater.org  If you scroll down a bit from the home page, you will find the video.    Please set a goal of filling it by May 17th, 2019.  Thank you for your support 🙂

Student Model United Nations:

We have a wonderful new opportunity for our students.  In support of our new E.A.G.L.E Academy mission statement, we are working towards establishing an Emory Model United Nations.  This group of students will work to uphold the goals of the UN in our community.  These goals are:

• to keep peace in our school and community
• to help students get along
• To improve living conditions for people in our community
• and to make the world a better place.

There will be only two meetings this year, but we are trying to get it started now, so that it will be up and running next school year.  We are asking that teachers select 1- 2 students by class vote, teacher choice or volunteer.  If you are really feeling inspired, you can have students write a short essay and select from there.  Each student will represent a country in our Model UN and will borrow an “official” vest, flag and country’s plaque.  They will learn about parliamentary procedures, global leadership attributes and approve several UN proposals for our school and community.  Our first meeting will be held on Monday April 29, 2019. The meeting will last approximately 2 hours, so students will be out of the classroom for an extended period of time. Below are several links to introduce the idea of the United Nations. 

Who: Our students

What: Emory Model United Nations
