REMINDERS:
* We are looking forward to our staff meeting on Monday at 9:00-9:15.  Please bring a drawing/picture of a heart that you can show on the screen.  Great as creative as you would like!

* During our PLC day we will start the class placement process.  Jessalyn made a digital copy of the pink and blue forms.  THANK YOU Jessalyn!  Please fill out a pink and blue form for each student.  Don't forget to make a copy of the power point!  We will ask you to print them and place them in your blue folders when we are back in school.  If you are not returning to Gold Rush next year, please share your pink and blue forms with Jenny and Libby.   

* Please continue to informally track students' participation in class meetings and reading groups. 

* If you have ALP students, please think about a goal for them. Stephanie will be reaching out to you next week to write these together. 

Here are a few additional reminders:
* On Monday you will have time to color code your students on your class list at the bottom of your page (below the class grid).  Please double check that all of your students are on your class list.  If you notice someone missing, just add him/her.

* Please also write what you think the student's most current INDEPENDENT DRA level is at this point in the year next to his/her name.  You should be able to cut and paste each students' color coded name into the different classes on Monday.

* On Monday please cluster ALP/ high students and ESL students across the grade level.

* Please email Christi Dismang if you know of any students that will not be returning to GRE next year.

* Please do not post pictures of your students on digital tools (Zoom, Flip Grid, Hangout etc) on social media.

* Please invite Jenny and Libby to your classroom ZOOM meetings each week. We love seeing the students!

* Please consider developing class norms for zoom meetings.  You might include sitting up, not hiding under the covers or hoodies, not distracting others with backgrounds and stuffed animals etc.

* Please continue to update and refer to grade level planning documents on Mondays.

TECH TIP FROM STACIE MARTINO!
Here is a way that you or parents can scan a document (student writing or a math page) and email it.  Open the notes section of your I Phone and start a new note.  The camera option pops up. Press it the option to scan and it comes up.  Follow the prompts from there.  If you don't have an iPhone try the Genius Scan App.
