November 18

November 18



I am thankful for a wonderful school community, a loving family, and that we are all healthy. I look forward to this time of year. It is going to be a crazy week next week BUT our family must LOVE crazy because we have been doing the same thing every year. On Wednesday we have Thanksgiving with my family and we ALL go grocery shopping together and then cook together and always head out to the park to play a game of kickball. On Thursday we head out to Chris's side of the family to enjoy Thanksgiving with them. On Friday we always head out to get our Christmas tree and start decorating the house. Yes, I spend three days decorating the house inside and out! I enjoy every minute of it!!


The following resources are from Kristen Cherry (thank you): 
Please check out some of these resources in regards to testing and practice!

This website
, from Achieve the Core, has resources on (1) aligning assessments with Common Core standards and SBAC expectations and (2) aligning instruction with the rigor required by the Common Core standards. 

This document on examples of formative assessment practices is useful, but long; however, I have read through it and condensed it down to the essential information here: 
These are really great  DOK resources for ALL SUBJECT AREAS for your use!  

Take a look at these for Academic Conversations, including one specifically for math:




A district is prohibited from requiring students to pay a fee, deposit, or other charge in order to participate in an educational activity as defined in Education Code 49010. A district is also required to provide the supplies, materials, and equipment needed by students to participate in educational activities.  A district may charge fees only when specifically authorized by law.

BP/AR 3260 outline what fees are prohibited and what fees are permissible.
