We have a few PD opportunities coming up for NWEA MAP Accelerator. Each session will be held virtually from 3:30-4:30. Teachers can earn PD points or Exchange Credit for attending. Please register in TNL to receive the link for attendance.
Science (Kim Inman)
Many questions have come about regarding the purchase of Twig (Science) Trade Books AND Leveled Readers. These texts would be excellent resources for whole group and small group ELA instruction. They are also embedded in the Twig Science Curriculum. There are some copies that arrived last spring complimentary with every teacher’s classroom set that was ordered through the state department.
Upcoming Animal Pickup
Kindergarten in groups 3&4 on the rotation schedule have an animal pickup coming February 9th. Please make sure all animals being picked up are in the front office before school starts on that date. In addition, please make front office staff aware that someone will be coming to pick up animals. This is an outside agency contracted for pick up. Any animals missed for pickup are the responsibility of the teachers/school to properly dispose of.
