Look ahead for May 2, 2016

Notes from Mr. Ross:

I put out a contest to buy the entire grade level lunch if everyone could name the article I asked about in my email on Tuesday.  Sadly not one single grade level had all the individuals answer the question.  Needless to say my wallet's a little fatter and my heart is a lot hurt.  I am truly at a loss of how anyone can survive by not checking their emails or looking through the calendar to make sure their not surprised.

I am looking forward to this Friday.  Vertical teaming with the younger grade levels is going to be fun and allow us to improve on our mathematics small group instruction.  Older grades make sure to have your activities ready for the young kids as well as your own.  Participating individuals be prepared to showcase your chapter, after all you guys are now the experts.

Keep an eye on the calendar, both on this look ahead as well as the google calendar online.  It is a busy week ahead of us.


I will leave you with a serious question:  Do your lesson plans for the week excite you?  If not, why would your students feel differently?  Make every moment count!

 Keep smiling and fake it 'til you make it!

Once the student has successfully logged on, they will then select either STAR Early Literacy (K-1), STAR Reading (2-6) or STAR Math (2-6).  After selecting an assessment, the student will need to select the class labeled reading. The student will then proceed with the pre-test. Once the student has completed the pre-test, a box will pop-up asking for a monitor password to advance to the real assessment portion.  Please note that the student will select the class labeled reading for both STAR Math and STAR Reading after they select the designated assessment from their dashboard.
