HEARTS

New students who just applied to HEARTS are waitlisted. I will let them know when they can start. Current students are having a great time!  Thank you for allowing us into your space!

WHY SEL

This month, I'm going to try something a little different.  I've separated some activities by grade level to make it a bit more age-level appropriate.  Please pace and teach as you see best fit for your students.  

In addition, SECOND STEP curriculum is at the Warehouse and should be delivered in the next couple weeks.  Please continue to check your Clever App: Second Step to see if the digital program has been loaded!  YAY! 

For October, our character focus is COMPASSION IN ACTION (Anti-bullying) in honor of National Bullying Prevention Month.

SAFTEY REMINDER

Students and staff are still catching COVID. If you are exposed you do not have to stay home unless you have systems, but you should test and take precaution.

We have masks, hand sanitizer and wipes available. See Amber the health clerk if you need any PPE. No one is required to wear a mask, but you may, what every you are comfortable with, same applies for all students. 

Unvaccinated are still testing weekly using the provided at home test. You may take what you need. 

I want you to feel supported and safe, so please communicate needs. 

Nuts and Bolts

REPORT CARD INFO LINK

Make sure you let us know what you are teaching, the students should know the objective of the lesson they are learning. They should have Essential Questions that they can answer at the end of the lesson. 

Make sure you are aware of the standards you are teaching, AND the rigor of those standards. Do not rely on the curriculum to meet the rigor. I placed an ELA standards progression document in your box.
