Savannah Teachers : Doing Our Best EVERY DAY! 

Have you checked in with your students? 

Morning Circle/Meetings: Please ensure you are checking in with students and facilitating daily class meetings. Morning meetings help build a positive classroom community, foster a sense of belonging, practice social-emotional skills, set the tone for the day, and can improve student engagement and academic success by providing a safe space for students to connect with each other.

• As always, update your Reading Tracker before your PLC day. Remember our goal is for students to make at least a years growth in reading.  Progress monitoring is a must do. Linked are the running records forms we are using this year: Fiction & Non-Fiction. Hard copies are in the Literacy Library.
