Look ahead for September 12, 2016

Notes from Mr. Ross:

There are seven million minutes from Pre-K to graduation.  Don't waste a moment!

* Teachers do not create student achievement; students do.  Yet, teachers, with support of other dedicated professionals, can together create the environment and the platform from which students can do what they do best: learn, achieve, create and innovate into the future.  - Stephen Barkley

This will be the first five day week in three weeks so pace yourself!

This week during vertical teaming we will be discussing the Star360 data and comparing it to the running records we have taken recently.  Math peeps will be creating our first mini assessment through Mastery Connect as well as looking through the Star360 data.

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.
