Guided Reading Level Follow-up
In your ItsLearning grade level course, choose your grade level course, and click resources.  At the top of the list, you will see a discussion called, "Release Day- Guided Reading Follow-up Discussion".
Within the next week, please take some time to reflect and comment on the two threads- one thread is about something you have tried and one thread is about next steps.


 Kudos and Thank You to...
  • Linda, Beth, Becky, and Elizabeth for showing your support at the Board of Education meeting on Monday night.
  • Sheli for all of your hard work to prepare and masterfully lead an amazing 4th grade performance.
  • Mandy and Kelly for courageously taking the reigns at the front desk.
  • Kim for supporting us throughout the school while Brooklynn takes the lead in the classroom. We feel so fortunate for your help!
  • Classroom teachers for diving into your students' Lexia data. I am so optimistic about the benefits this program can bring to our students.
  • Mary for her steadfast dedication and professionalism even in the toughest times.
  • Everyone that completed the perceptual data surveys. Your feedback helps me to grow and I greatly appreciate it.
