Sunday, October 17

 

Happy Sunday! I hope you have been able to rest a bit this weekend. Last week felt long to me. This week will be great and hopefully flies by! It looks like the weather will be cool and there is a chance of rain. Let's all hope for rainy nights and sunny days!! 😊

Lots of info today coming at you in the random order I wrote it down.

Conference Sign Ups: We will not be using Canyon Creek software for conferences. Please set up your own sign up sheet with Google or Sign Up Genius. Remember, you can offer in person or Zoom conferences. 

Harvest Festival Parade: The Harvest Parade will be on Friday, 10/29, at 9:15am. We ask that parents enter through the kindergarten gate. There will be a sign in and visitor sticker. They should also exit through that gate and sign out. Parents will walk to the black top to watch the parade and then leave. You may have 2-3 parents help in your class for a party or what other activities you may have planned. Please let me know if you have questions. 

Earthquake Drill on Friday: See below for the Earthquake Drill expectations. We will not be evacuating for this drill. I shared this with parents so they could talk to their kids about it. It will be at 10am on Friday. 

iReady Clarification: I recently learned that they intentionally moved to only three testing windows rather than four. The district heard the feedback that it was too much testing without enough time to teach. So, no need to do a diagnostic before the trimester ends. Remember, each trimester is a snapshot in time. Is the student meeting the standards at that moment? In many cases, students will not be meeting the standards. The goal is that they will be meeting this standards by the end of the year. Some students may need intervention and tutoring along the way. Our hope is that we will get them where they need to be by supporting and progress monitoring. 

Reminder: No Trunk or Treat. I will let you know what and when our next event will be. 

Information: Silvia was out on Friday and we only had a 4 hour sub, so if your room is not as clean as it usually is, that is why.
