The Lions' Den

Writing and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Just a couple of reminders...

• This week students will complete informational writing pieces.  This is the time for students to make adjustments based on teacher feedback.  Consider mini lessons to review chunks of student writing -- lead, evidence/examples, transitions, and conclusions to move groups of students through the revision process. Please be mindful to have students use the writing rubric (see notebook) to review their work and ensure they have all the components in place and have edited their work.  Writing pieces should be complete by Friday, December 15th.

• We have MTSS meetings this week, please compile, summarize and graph your data for students for whom you have been providing interventions.  Be sure to have your information organized and ready for your meeting.  You should bring information to support students who have academic and/or behavior concerns.

• As the winter break gets closer and we begin to celebrate, remember that for some students and staff, this is a stressful time of year.  Bring a little extra patience to work with you daily.

• No faculty meeting this week or next week 

• Last, please check the daily updates and living calendar.  Have a wonderful and productive work week.
