Kindergarten/1st grade are likely the most pivotal grade levels for reading development.
Thus, it makes the most sense to invest in the teachers and students within this grade-level band. It is not that the other grades don't matter, but rather that the correlation between kids who crack the English code in this grade level band and the kids who become successful readers and writers is high. This means that kids who have not cracked the English code by the end of 1st grade are more likely to struggle with reading and writing throughout their school life.
Proposition S passed with 63.47% support from voters! Your support will help us attract and retain the high-quality staff our students deserve. Thank you for investing in the future of our schools and community!
Any Educational Techie people have a suggestion on something to use that is similar to flipgrid?
That platform is ending Sept 30th. I have an entire project that uses flipgrid during 1st quarter. 😞

Veteran teachers are the backbone of education. They’ve endured all the reasons some teachers leave the field. They also survived the latest programs, initiatives, & testing. They have much wisdom, experience & expertise if leaders are willing to listen. Value & appreciate them!
Empower students by giving them the choice to refocus through action—turning moments of fidgetiness into opportunities for self-regulation. The first time or two it was a little disruptive but then it became a natural part of our routine.

Some parents judge schools by the test scores. But there are a lot of parents who judge schools by the attitude of their child when they get home in the afternoon.
We need to be working to raise student achievement… but we also need to be creating good experiences for kids.
