Tuesday is teaming for all grade levels. We will have all certified teachers involved. That includes Title 1, ESL, and Special Ed. It's a day of patience and flexibility for intervention groups.

Here is a great article about reflecting. There is a reflection sheet for students to fill out that you can click on, and it is very informative for teachers. I know several of you are also doing data notebooks this year. You could use this with your data notebooks. In the lower grades you could pick one or two questions, and discuss as a whole class. Everyday is an opportunity for a new day.

Picture Day! Yes, we even need staff to have their pictures taken.
Here is a great handout with tips for parent teacher conferences. There is a new handout each month, and I've been putting them on the school website under posts. This one for October has helpful tips that are great for any meetings, not just conferences, that parents/guardians have with you during the school year.
Parent-Teacher Conferences in English
Parent-Teacher Conferences in Spanish
Anne took some great pictures of students reading in the library. These are first graders from Mrs. Moulson's classroom. We are growing readers at Harrison! I love the respect and rapport, the positive interactions between the students. We have great kids!

Please remind students that the library bookmobile will be at Harrison after school. It will be in front of the school. They do need a library card, but they can sign up for one there if they have an adult with them.
Please remind students that picture day is Friday.
We have a ping pong table donated from Canyon Ridge. It is on the stage. Lesa is working on putting together pictures that show how to play and a list rules for ping pong, so students can refer to them when they are playing. Could be used as an incentive, like with Kambra or other small groups.
I was in fourth grade classrooms on Wednesday. It was really impressive seeing fourth graders learning and discussing properties of operations, from the common core math standards. Commutative and associative properties! Great work fourth grade!
Paris in Ms. Hammond’s 5th grade class was a photographer for the Read Like an Eagle assembly on Tuesday! She took pictures with an iPad! Here are the photos, and you can click on them to make them bigger:

I have the master schedule filled in. Talk with Lesa if you need help printing to the color printer in the lab. File, download, and then you can print after it opens in Excel. I also added it to the schedules tab, so you can refer to it anytime.
If you are interesting in Curves and what they offer, they will have a meeting in the library after school at 3:45.

Tuesday is a busy day. We have hearing and vision screenings. There is a staff potluck at lunch. We also have the Read Like an Eagle assembly at 1pm.
Under links on the blog, you can submit something you would like posted. Way to go Marsha filling out the google form! We all work with fifth graders- not just the fifth grade teachers. We can all help remind the students about recorders. Below is the note from Marsha:
"All fifth grade students should have a recorder by next week. They will need one every week until spring break. Please ask your students to find them, and bring to school this week. If they can't find theirs from last year, or they are new to our building, they can purchase one for $6-or they can write a note, have a parent sign it, and I will loan them one."
We had a great data day meeting integrated with technology, and hopefully you also learned some new digital tools to use in your classroom with students. Enjoy the pictures of staff using their iPads during the meeting:
