January 12



We celebrated Maya's 12th birthday over the weekend. I can't believe she is already 12! When I was her age I was driving a tractor by myself and hauling bins. I can't imagine her driving a tractor on her own! My dad will be celebrating his 80th birthday on Sunday. We are lucky that he is still healthy and still with us. 










Please remember to teach a 10 minute Character Counts lesson on respect/citizenship every day :) Character trait for January is citizenship.
Here is a website to get ideas for your grade level - http://charactercounts.org/

MAP testing window is from Feb. 5th -23rd. We recommend that you give MAP testing the first two weeks so the last week can be held for make ups. We will not need to create a testing schedule for this since everyone has their own chomebooks now J


Walk through data for Nov/Dec: Great job with level 3 conversations!! Over 50%! I am very
proud of our ELD integration in subject areas. We were over 60%. One
thing we need to make sure of, is that we have 100% on our objectives.
