From Principal, AlliÂ
I'd like to start by saying "thank you" for all you do! This work isn't easy and you are beautifully handling this school year and all it has already thrown at you! Keep it up! đź’Ş
We are excited about being in classrooms and so far I am really impressed with what I have seen. The collaborative work that your teams are doing weekly seems to be paying off! I appreciate the collective efficacy that has been demonstrated by each team. Please let Kate, Beth or myself know how we can continue to support you and the work you are in.Â
I encourage you to remember your WHY. Ask yourself...WHY are you here? WHY are you making that instructional decision? WHY are things going well or not?Â
Again, "thank you" for all you do, day in and day out!Â

Are you curious about seeing writing samples on what will receive a 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the NEW Georgia Milestones assessments? They are available! We will have professional learning on these new guides but I know that so many of you want to go ahead and take a peek! There are NO PDFs available for print like in years past!

Lessons:
Our next unit of lessons is on Kindness. I am starting with Kinder/1st and working my way up the grades.Â
I have had teachers request specific lessons to meet class needs and I LOVE getting to address what you are seeing day-to-day in the class. Do not hesitate to reach out about getting a lesson in before your grade's time for the next unit :)Â
Universal Screener
We will do the Universal Screener this week! I will be sending you your email link to your class roster as soon as I get them.Â
My new to Hall County friends, I will be getting with you on what this looks like and do it with you, if you would like!Â
It's Book Fair Week! Here is the schedule for student shopping.Â
A few Reminders:Â
We WILL NOT have our regular class visits or checkouts this week.
3rd Grade Library Connections will go to PE this week. Thank you Natalie & Trina for accommodating us this week!Â
The 7-8 am hour is reserved for parents to visit the book fair, please do not send students to the fair during this time.
For crowd control purposes, please enter through the front door and exit through the back door.Â
Students CAN purchase during both of your class's scheduled visits.Â
Set up a Teacher eWallet and share it with your families so they can make donations for your class libraries.
Families can set up eWallets for their student(s) to easily provide funds for their child to shop

ESOL
ESOL
We are working toward having all of our ESOL students set a Language Domain Goal based on their ACCESS test scores. These scores provide insight into how each student is performing in the four language domains:Â
Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
Once students identify a specific domain to focus on, our goal is for them to actively practice and strengthen that area throughout the school day.
Below, you’ll find suggested activities students can do to help build skills in each domain. These can be incorporated into classroom routines or used during small group time to support their progress. If you want information on your students' domain goal, please reach out!! :)
