Because I am also the EL coordinator, my schedule needs to be flexible next week to support our examiners. I am guessing that the most interruption to my schedule will be on Tuesday.

EL Reminder

Summative ELPAC testing begins next week. IA Jenn and I were able to give many of our amazing EL students a "taste" of the testing formats. Thank you for being flexible with our schedules. 

Testing Dates: 

March 8, 9, 11, 14, and 15

Schedule? 

-The examiners have a system and will pull students depending on test completion and groupings.

-When the examiner comes to pull a student, please confirm the student's last name.

-Students may likely be pulled more than once to either complete a test section or complete the speaking portion of the test. If you want more details on how the test is administered please see this doc

What to prepare? 

-charged chromebook

-working headphones

-remind your amazing dual language students to take their time, re-read their writing, and feel comfortable speaking with the examiner like they would feel comfortable speaking with you or a friend

last Week's Walk Up Song was..... Jenny Cooper!! 

Here is the song again: Jenny's Walk Up Song

This is why Christina chose that song: We all know it's been a crazy year. This song speaks of the struggle, our hopes and a request to make lemonade out of lemons. It's also a beautiful mother daughter song as Pink has her daughter Willow sing along and star in the music video. Melt my heart beautiful. Hope you enjoy it!

Here is this week's Walk Up Song: Mystery Walk Up Song

Let me know who you think it is! Send me your guesses. Come on, give me a guess!! No really, guess!! How well do you know your co-workers??

If you haven't added your song, here is the form: Walk Up Song
