PRELUDE TO MATHEMATICS - W. W. SAWYER, POPULAR MATHS
Diane Sawyer was a staple of news for the better part of three decades, but in recent years her appearances have become less frequent. Here's where she's been.
We can look at the SmarterBalance/Badger Exam as a stressor in our lives OR we can look at it as an opportunity to strengthen our universal instruction. We can look at some of our students and say "they can't" OR we can look at those students and say "they will" and find a new way to reach them. We can look at our colleagues and find their faults OR we can discover ways to share our strengths and make everyone around us stronger in the process. We can worry about how far we still have to go OR we can look at the exceptional things that go on at Van Brunt each day, and build on those positives. On a daily basis, I am impressed with what goes on at Van Brunt. Your hard work digging into curriculum, relationship building, and supporting each other are some of the things that make Van Brunt a great place to be. High Fives: *Our youngest learners were deeply engaged in a Lucy Calking writing lesson. They were so eager to share their thinking on paper. *I loved to see how excited students were when their classmates experienced success during a spelling lesson. It's great to see such positive responses from our students. *Teachers were using data to reassign students in RAZ-Kids. The students were challenged to work hard and meet new goals. *A science review game had the students so engaged that they may not have realized how much they were learning! Students were encouraged to pay attention as questions were asked in a variety of ways. *Teachers were coming together as a team to problem solve and think of creative ways to meet the needs of every learner. *Guided reading lessons are becoming stronger and even more focused. Students know the expectations and rise to the high standards you have set. Important Information/Updates: *RtI Committee Updates: Our current assessment tools were discussed and conversation was had around which one (MAP, AIMS, F&P) we want to put the most weight for determining interventions. It was decided that MAP is what people currently like the best. There was also discussion around the percentile cut-offs for intervention. The high school currently uses 1st-10th percentile for Tier 3 and 11th-20th for Tier 2. There will be further discussion on this topic. We have also received PRESS, a resource for Tier 2/3 intervention in reading. *Information: As you are sending home information to parents, please provide a copy for the office. This would include things such as newsletters, permission slips, field trip reminders, etc. If it is going home...we would like a copy in the office. This will make life much easier as we receive parent phone calls. *Attendance: We have been using the automated calling system for absences. It is so important that accurate attendance is taken each day. If a child comes in late, please make sure to change your attendance. I completely understand that mornings are busy, but we don't want to worry parents when unnecessary safe arrival calls are being made. As I was in classrooms this past week, I saw that book groups were being introduced. Here is an interesting article: Assessing Learning During Student-Led Book Clubs Week at a Glance: Monday, January 26 PBIS Committee Meeting 7:30 Tuesday, January 27 I am out of district at the Badger Exam Training (Morning) Wednesday, January 28 I am at an Admin Meeting 8:30 I am at Rotary 11:45 POPS Assembly 2:30 PLC 3:30 (Focus will be on the Badger Exam for 3rd-6th grade teachers and special ed. 4K-2nd, please use this time for your guided reading lesson planning or Lucy Calkins work. If these groups don't include you, and you have your data gathered for your SLO, you may use this time to work on TPES.) Please let me know if you have any questions. Thursday, January 29 ELA Committee Meeting 7:30 Friday, January 30 Have a great week!!

Today I officially join the ranks of the Pharisees – that is according to painter Stephen Sawyer, who weighs all less-than-flattering art critics in a theological scale before banishing them into the badlands of Christianity.

The definitive edition of the most famous work of strategy ever written. "This edition is intended for the general reader, but carries the weight of solid scholarship, and it has an allure that no management book can match: with a copy of Sun Tzu and a little imagination, the reader becomes a corporate warrior in pinstripe armor, his cellular phone his sword."--Far Eastern Economic Review
