Week of March 1, 2021

Well ladies... you have done it again.  You continue to make me so proud to serve as the leader of our campus.  Thank you for navigating today so well and for the work you will do tomorrow to prepare for Monday.  I can't wait to see what you have planned to welcome our face to face learners to the "Greatest Sleepover Ever!"  You have done an amazing job getting your spaces set up.  If there are any items you need (furniture wise) please get with Leigh Ann, she can help you with that.  If you need any instructional items, hop over to Lee and get what you need.  

I will be gone tomorrow.  I have to take care of some house things, and I get my second round of Pfizer at Texas Motor Speedway.  I'm telling you this because our campus goal is Social Emotional Wellness.  I can't expect you to take care of you unless I model taking care of myself.  Please see Leigh Ann if you need anything.  


DID YOU KNOW:
  • that commitment forms should go out today for the 4th 9 weeks?  Responses will be due March 3.
  • competencies for report cards have been loaded, so you can start entering 3rd 9 week grades and comments, now?
  • today is Andrew's last day as our PE student teacher? Please wish him well!

ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK


Check comprehension frequently

Your students may learn to decode accurately but be unable to construct meaning out of the words they have read. Teach newcomers to reflect on what they have decoded and to monitor what they do or do not understand. Check student comprehension with one or more of the following activities.

  • Teach students to use graphic organizers such as story maps while they read. Visual depictions of information allow ELLs to better understand the material while learning important vocabulary.

  • Write individual sentences from the text on separate sheets of drawing paper; then read or have the students read each sentence and illustrate it.

  • Informally test students' ability to sequence material from a story: print sentences from a section of the story on paper strips, mix the strips; have students put them in order.

  • Check students' ability to order words within a sentence; write several sentences from the text on individual strips of paper; cut the strips into words; have students arrange each group of words into a sentence.
