Today's Focus: October 18, 2017

Today's main focus is family-student-teacher(s) conferences. There are many conferences scheduled, and I want to focus on those.

The next main focus is student learning. Today students will take a mid-unit math test. They will practice test taking skills as they show what they know. I'll use the assessments to inform upcoming lessons and student coaching.

After that, students will engage in a workshop where they will have the opportunity to update their portfolios, complete overdue math pages, and catch-up with reading, writing, and online math assignments. Every so often, we need these catch-up and extra-help workshops to solidify the learning efforts introduced.

At the end of the day, we'll have a short team meeting and then students will continue their study of the play, In the Heights with our talented and knowledgeable librarian. A good day to come.
