New Leveled Reading Materials

I am placing new guided reading materials in the K-2 bookroom next week that span levels H-L.  There are six copies of each book in the bag, lesson design pages, and a code for the e-book access.  These books are barcoded for inventory purposes.  I will place a sign out sheet in each box, with the title of the book at the top of the sheet.  Please promptly return materials so they can be used by other classes.  When you return the materials to the box, make sure all 6 books, the lesson design sheet, and the e-book access code is still in the bag!  Sign the materials back in (just like you do cum folders)!

Thanks to Mason Hughes for getting these barcoded and into circulation for us!

Tutoring Session 2

Invitations for the next round of tutoring went home with students yesterday.  Please return those to me as soon as you receive them.  The next session will start on Thursday, March 3.  I will send you a list of who is involved in tutoring on Wednesday of next week.

Register for Workshops

The following workshops are available for registration through My Learning Plan.  Please register for first and second quarter PLT meetings soon.  Those will close out in mid-March.

Many of you received emails reminding you to evaluate workshops today.  Please evaluate as soon as possible!

Andy Kraft asked that CC’s remind teachers about the Inquiry based projects on the SS Haiku site.  He also offered up a new resource that deals with inquiry:  http://www.c3teachers.org.

Lockdown INFO
      The lockdown went great!  When passing through the halls, there we NO STUDENTS seen!   GREAT job!   Don't forget to check the hall quickly before closing your door.  This is just in case a student is in the hallway.  Also, DO NOT RETURN TO YOUR CLASSROOM if you are traveling throughout the building. Go into the nearest room, and lockdown  there.  For those that do not have a class, you are required to lockdown just like regular classrooms.  The were a few adults that were seen walking around or doing other things in their office/classroom.  Please treat lockdown drills as if it were a real lockdown.    Again, GREAT JOB!!!!
