It's hard for me to believe we're already in December! It seems like a lifetime ago that the Hurricane hit and we were starting late.
As the holiday gets closer and closer we're going to begin to see more and more kids act out in different ways. It's important for us to remember to keep our expectations high, instruction active and engaging, and that we forgive often.

Instructional Rounds
Since Wednesday are Team Meeting days, this Wednesday will look a little different. We're going to start doing instructional rounds once a month. Some of you may remember this from a year or two ago.
I will email you who will go into what rooms, and for the first 15 minutes of your conference time you will observe 3 classrooms for 5 minutes each. You will take sticky notes and leave one piece of positive feedback for each class you go into and leave it on their door as you leave. Then you will all get back as a team, have your team meeting, and debrief from what you saw in those instructional rounds!
We have so many great things going on that we can learn from each other!
Delic on Campus
Delic will be on campus on Thursday. Please have your newest data, be ready to talk individual students, and have your bulletin boards outside your rooms updated.
T-TESS
T-TESS Evaluations are in full swing. What that also means is that your admin team may not be able to come when they're immediately called as we may be busy in observations!
TP Time
This week in TP time we will be looking at the most recent data from 2nd Grade Reading/Math Unit Assessments and from 4th Grade Reading/Writing/Math Unit Assessments. Teachers need to come prepared with their data and at least 10 copies of their data.

Friday
This Friday we will be keeping no students. So all students will come down at 7:35am. If you're free, and could help with morning duty that would be great!
