Lunch with the Principal was super fun. We order door dash, or deliver food for them and join a Meets together. They are so fun and excited. We did a Kahoots and the winner........
DARBY!!! (Sorry kids :) )
We are getting our plans ready for reopening. Target date is currently Nov. 9th, for Phase 2, all things pending approval.
We will be passing out digital copies of maps - It is mandatory to follow all safety guidelines for reopen provided by the state and the district.
Parents will be getting a guide from the district soon.
Our specific plan will be presented to SSC/ELAC and part of our annual safety binder (where we house all safety documents such as drills)
October 19th tutoring beings - we have two available
Paper - Roe is in charge (24/7 for grades 5-6 and some 4th)
UCR students - Brown is in charge (will be allocated as needed - virtual teachers 3-6 I believe will be focused on math with Debbie Newton leading that work) Please watch for emails from me to collect data on who needs/wants a tutor.
Thank you Carlos for getting classes set up, and the campus ready for students - lots to be done
Distance Learning environment requires some rethinking about what works will for you and your students. Committing or recommitting to a thoughtful and well-constructed plan to paper is a step towards a proactive approach to distance learning and can prevent problems from emerging.
Classroom Management plans outline the procedures, routines, and expectations for all the students in the class.
ACTION PLAN FOR THIS WEEK:
*Establish / Revisit norms for classroom and peers. Are there new norms to consider with Brake out rooms?
*Link norms to class agreements -
NORMS:
~3-5
~Co-construct with students
~State them positively
~Make the specific
~Post them
~Teach and revisit
Examples
Follow the person who is speaking with your eyes
Answer clearly using your mouth to the camera so I can see your response
Post respectful reactions in the chat
Treat each member of the class with kindness
Stick to your assigned role in Breakout Rooms
Mute yourself when you are listening
Turn your camera on when speaking
ACTION ITEMS
What are your classroom norms?
Make a commitment to revisit your norms or edit as needed.
AVID
Advancement Via Individual Determination
Our AVID commitment is to hold all students to high expectations, Students need to be explicitly taught how to use organizational tools. They need to be monitored and held accountable. Take the time to teach your expectations and check in to make sure they are adhering to those expectations.
If students need more supplies please let us know, we can arrange for them to pick up from the office.
WICOR
W- Writing to Learn (we spent a lot of time on writing last year, with a heavy focus on teaching students how to read a text, pull out important information, take notes and use evidence to answer Essential Questions) Students can not write with out experience (in person, virtual or otherwise). They can not write about something they have not had a number of experiences with. We can not skip this step, they need visuals, multi-media, sensory, compare and contrast and other opportunities before they can write to a topic or subject.
C- Collaboration - We explicitly taught students how to collaborate, we used the 4 L's (or a variation). we provided sentence frames, assigned roles for each collaboration partner and followed up with feedback and checking for understanding.
O- Organization - It is so important to keep students organized, with hand held items, digital items, etc. We will all use the AVID binder and require students to be AVID ready (set a 30 second timer and they should be able to find what you are asking them to find- if not they are not AVID ready and they need support to become AVID ready. Peer support, teacher support, parent support, etc. )
R- Reading to Learn - Once students acquire the skills to decode, they shift to reading for a purpose, to learn. It is important that we are not just assigning reading to read, but rather to make connections, and expand a students learning process. Close Reading Skills are a great skill w need to teach all students. Use your protocols to walk them through how to identify important information and answer the Essential Questions.
EQUITY
Our equity goal for the year - Provide access to a quality education for all
Teachers please remember our students have many factors that hinder or support their learning. It is important that we are being flexible and supportive. There is no requirement for Independent work and I am fully against assigning homework in this digital space. I know students need to practice, but please be mindful of the workload our parents are already experiencing and the workload on students. If an independent assignment is essential and needs to be assigned please be gentle with setting due dates and times. Flexibility is the key. We will discuss more in staff meeting.
Reflect on your beliefs as an equity leader. How do you demonstrate your beliefs to your staff, students, and/or school community?
In an effort to “get comfortable” with the idea that something could be improved each day for our most vulnerable clients, students, or staff, how will you begin the improvement process?
Chapter 2:
* Create a chart for yourself as seen below. Break down your students. Are there trends?
Is our data creating the educational glass ceiling that is creating a barrier for some students and not others?
Using the chart how would these subjects support or hinder our students. How do we as elementary teacher impact this?
Discipline
AP Courses
FAFSA
A-G Completion
Intervention Courses
Special Education
DIBELS
Have you ever wondered what can change for students’ lives when we use data to uncover deeply rooted systemic inequities in the school system?
Reflect back to the charts you’ve completed, what barriers can be removed to create a path equity within our school system?

We must find a way to make students want the change...To achieve this objective, educators need to build relationships, create investment in the class climate, and give the students a voice.
By addressing the behavior immediately, allowing students to speak, and seeking to understand the situation, we keep from doling out quick punishments that might mishandle the situation. We also build an environment in which students understand what they did and why it was wrong, and help to build their own sets of consequences.
