Nesloney Out Monday

I will be out Monday at a training for Middle School ELAR Students.  I hoping to bring back some great strategies for our 3rd-5th Grade kids.

Staff Meeting & Pilot Program

The staff meeting for Tuesday has been cancelled.  That was also the day we have a webinar scheduled for our K-2 (and Moore) teachers who volunteered to be part of a new Math Computer Pilot Program.  That webinar will take place in the library.

RTI Meetings

RTI Meetings will take place on Thursday and Friday this week.  Please be ready to discuss all of your TIER 2 and TIER 3 kids.  You should bring documentation on them (F&P Levels, MAP testing, Istation data). If you do not have the data you will be sent back and need to meet after school.

In Closing...

This week we have the opportunity to shower our kids with high quality instruction and love. 

This week I challenge you to be careful of your words, tone, and patience.  Several times over the last week I was witness to some words being spoken to our children that could have been chosen differently.  Words spoken out of frustration or exhaustion, but spoken also in front of parents who bared witness.

Please be cognizant of our tones with our children and the words we choose to use because so often our kids will use those words to define who they believe they are.  Speak kind.
