Week 6

 

Hello Wonderful Special Pops Team! 

I hope you all had a great weekend. Here are our focus areas for the week. 

Child Study

We only had one student referred to Child Study.  So I will schedule it for 9:00 am so that it frees up your day.

03's

Now that BOY testing is complete for NWEA and AIMSWeb, please plan to discuss your student data during our 03's...how you will be using it to drive your instruction and student support.

Lexia Snapshot

Now that things are underway, we can no longer just tell students to get on Lexia and Dreambox. We need to be intentional about the usage of our digital tools. This week, the focus is Lexia. 

Scope and Sequence: Use this lets you know exactly what the students are learning based on the "level" that they are on. 

Usage Report: This allows you to check and see how much time students have spent on Lexia. 

Skill Builder Guide: For small groups, use the resources tab. There are short skill builder lessons that are aligned with whatever level the student is on. You can print it so students can practice the skills that they need to work on. 

Watch this video for how you can quickly do a 5-minute check of your students' progress. 5 minute check.

  

For a brief refresher, refer to the Lexia Professional Learning Guide

Thank you K. Summers for the great resources!!!!

GoGuardian

Please be sure to have GoGuardian up and running when the students are using the chromebooks. Our students still require a great deal of oversite. If students try to go to inappropriate sites or even just be off task, you can see it. It is a major liability for us if you are not overseeing their technology use.
