November 30

Thank you for opening up your classrooms to Shay and Lora after the breakfast this morning.  Shay was not able to visit as many rooms as originally planned due to a change in his schedule for today.   He said to share his apologies.

Day # 50 already?

The first grade team and Julie Walker planning for EBISS together on Tuesday (below).   The team is looking at student progress monitoring graphs.  Conversation lead to a shared decision by all to focus even more as a grade level on blending.

Week at a Glance for December 3rd-7th

Monday:

  • 8:05 PBIS Meeting in the Media Center

Tuesday:

  • 8:05 Staff Meeting
  • Attendance Boundary Map input opportunity 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Sky View Middle

Wednesday:

  • 8:05 ICCL Meeting
  • SIW: 2:30 Collective Efficacy in the Media Center

Thursday:

  • 8:05 Kindergarten EBISS

  • Newsletter

With elementary instructional times set for next school year (8:00-2:30; 8:00-1:00 on Wednesday) everyone will have an opportunity at the Staff Meeting on Tuesday to take a brief survey and give input to help with the decision of what elementary employee work hours will be next year.

After work hours are set we will better be able to answer the questions below:

  • On Tuesdays, will Staff Meetings and PLC Meetings be before or after school?
  • On Thursdays, will we have EBISS Meetings before or after school
  • When will most of our  IEP meetings take place? Before or after school?

You will see a note in the survey that licensed employees at the elementary level have two 45-minute uninterrupted periods per week as per contract language.  Before or after the student day has been, and likely will need to be when those time periods are placed into the day.   Also, at all elementary schools students will begin arriving at 7:30 and will head to recess or breakfast.

Quick reminder of our upcoming assemblies:

  • Wednesday, Dec. 12 for 5th grade dress rehearsal  10:00 am (load at 9:50)
  • Friday, Dec. 21 for all-school singalong 9:05 am (load after announcements)

A reminder that we are partnering again this year with the Bend Elks Lodge to provide canned food and gifts for families in need in our community.  Students are encouraged to drop-off canned food items and unwrapped children’s gifts at the Main Office through December 13th. For the gift drive, families can select one of the generic tags from
our holiday tree or purchase any children’s gift they feel would be enjoyed by another child.

Santa and Elf Hats are available for purchase in the Main Office for $2.00.

Speaking of the Holidays…We are getting close to the Staff Christmas Part on Friday, December 14th.   Thank you Jill for hosting!

4th grade has been using jig-saw protocols to assist their students in understanding text this year.  The students were rockin’ this one…High levels of  student engagement and empowerment of all learners!

The Oregon Observatory is bringing their portable planetarium to Lava Ridge November 13 and 15-16.   The planetarium will be set up in one of our neighborhoods and a class schedule of visit times can be located here.   A special thank you to Christina for facilitating this event for us!

It was a great October in Number Corner world!  So much rich learning!  Thank you for  facilitating this learning for our students.

The theme of the Book Fair this year is “Books are Enchanting”.  A fairy is planning to visit your classroom on either Wednesday or Thursday to drop-off flyers for students right after announcements.

Colleagues,

Thank you for all of your hard work with conferences!  You do such a great job of making our families feel so welcome!

The latest efficiency from the Pam, Amber and Miriam Team….Batch Print!   After learning the names in advance of those volunteers who are going on field trips or joining us here for school events (ie Halloween Parties, Craft Fair, etc.) the office team does an advanced mass printing of Raptor volunteer badges.  When volunteers arrive for the event they go directly to the counter and pick up their badge (no Raptor check-in needed!)   Thank you for considering this for those times when you will have multiple volunteers coming to your room for events.

We are anticipating lots of visitors for Halloween parties on Wednesday.  Thank you for your reminders to our families about the need to bring their government issued identification anytime they visit.  Yes, even Darth Vader and Wonder Woman need to have ID.

Try looking at this picture and not smiling.   What a fun school event!

With the goal of getting our bus riders home as soon as possible, the Transportation Department has added a new afternoon route.  This new route, 56, is comprised of some of the students who had been riding on route 2.  All impacted families were contacted last week.   Here is a list of students who ride this new bus and also a list of route 2 riders.

The master chef hard at work.   Note the smile.   Almost makes you wonder if he knew (or was planning?) in advance for who was going to get which bucket.

For those anxiously awaiting our next school newsletter….the publisher has delayed publication (due to the shortened upcoming week) until November 2nd.

Go 4th Grade EBISS!   This meeting and the can-do-vibe around the table brought me back to one of the big ideas from the Collective Efficacy Book…”collective teacher efficacy refers to teachers in a school characterized by an attitude that together they can make a difference for students.” Nice job team.

Colleagues,

Below are some notes for next week and beyond.  I hope you have a great weekend!

Welcome Miriam Dunn!  Miriam was selected by our interview team this week to serve as our 2 hour secretary.

 

Carole’s SIOP tip of the week:  Clear explanation of academic tasks:

Three ELL’s in the second grade said that it helps them when their teachers explain things step by step.  They complimented Mrs. Gylling, Mrs. VanHorn, and Mr. Roberts.  They said that in each one of those classrooms they understand what is going on because their teachers explain things clearly. Their teachers explain tasks well and model demonstrations first before students participate.

On Hattie’s scale it is rated as a potential to considerably accelerate student achievement.

Amplify Teacher Editions-Below is a list by grade level of the units in Amplify.  Your team should have a teacher edition for each.  If you are missing one or discover you have a title that is not in your grade level strand please let Pam know.  Thank you!

Launch below to a cognitively demanding Lucy lesson on dialogue.

Mathematical sense making in 1st grade!  As teachers we know how important it is that  students understand mathematics and not just recite facts or execute computational procedures and it is cool to see this developing in our five and six year olds.

This will be the third year Bend-La Pine Schools will use the personal safety curriculum Safe Touch.  We are providing interested families multiple opportunities to learn about this safety and sexual abuse prevention curriculum  in the coming weeks.  (This info was in the newsletter and your help also messaging it home is appreciated!)

  1.  Tuesday, October 23rd at 3:45 in the Media Center families can learn about the curriculum and also preview.
  2.  During Conferences families can preview the curriculum in the Main Office and then follow up with Lybe or I with questions.

Lybe or I will be teaching Safe Touch to your students this year and will coordinate dates for instruction with your team before Spring Break.

 

Tech Services will be providing HDMI Splitters for our classrooms!  They have been ordered and should arrive soon.

Some role playing during a third grade SEL activity.  This instructional move really increased the cognitive demand in the lesson!

Colleagues,

Below are some notes for next week, from this one, and for others in the future…I hope you have a good weekend!

Nice job launching Lava Read this week everyone!  Below is picture from the 1st grade kick-off.

Student Learning Growth Goals:  No big changes to report this year with SLGGs.   The state of Oregon still requires all certified staff to have two goals that reflect achievement growth for all students in their class. These two goals can be shared by a team or can be set individually.   When you or your team have set your goals let’s sort out a time to meet before Thanksgiving, discuss, and sign-off on them.    Elementary SLGG Forms can be located  here or here and I will also put some hard-copies by the mailboxes.

Mini-Observations:  Last year was the first year of the new Mini-Observation guidelines developed in the summer of 2017.   Below is a re-post of the information that was shared last year:

Probationary Years (#1-3)= Six observations total. Two formal observations are required by the state. Four mini observations.  Two of the minis can be professional.

Contract Employee During Summative Evaluation Year= Six mini observations.  Four classroom observations and two professional observations.

Contract Employee in non-evaluation Year= Three mini observations.  Two classroom observations and one professional observation.

Are the Stars Aligning?  We will have to see and as we wait, mark your calendars for November 13th, 15th , and 16th when the Sunriver Nature Center will be here with their giant planetarium.   We are planning that it will be set up in different neighborhood commons each day from 1:00-3:30 so classes can visit and learn in 2o minute rotations. The ICCL Team will be working to set up a schedule and will have more details out to you before the October full moon.

Week at a Glance for October 8-12

Monday:

Tuesday:

  • 8:05 Sibling Conference Schedule in the Media Center

Wednesday:

  • 8:05 ICCL Meeting
  • SIW  @ Grade Level Time to Explore Amplify Kits (No 2:30 meeting)

Thursday:

  • Picture Day
  • MAC Day!

Friday:

  • Lion Dash 2:15-3:15
  • Newsletter
  • No Lion Pride Drawing

Picture below of some of our 5th graders processing text.  Thank you for all of your work setting up our students with effective discourse routines!  It has been cool this week to begin hearing the  shift in our collaborative conversations from our start of the year training routines of “turn and talk” or “tell your partner” starters to more structured and cognitively demanding prompts. (ie. compare, explain, why?).

 

Carole’s SIOP Instructional Tip for the Week: After asking a question to an English language learner, wait for additional time for them to process the information and then respond.

Why WAIT time?  ELL’s need time to translate in their head.  It also takes time for them to formulate their response.  Most of them want to answer, it just takes longer for them.

 

School Psychologist Roles: With the goal of setting up our school psychologists to have the greatest impact Special Programs has created a document that prioritizes their roles.  Thank you Kelly for everything you do!

Essential Roles for School Psychologists

 

The 27th Annual Inventerprise Science Contest is open.  The contest is open to all Central Oregon students in grades k-12.  More information can be found at:

http://inventerprise.bendresearch.com/

They’re back…Day 20 already?

To help us best navigate our first year with Amplify and assist with some staff questions,  we invited Skip Offenhauser to meet recently with our ICCL Team.   Notes from this meeting can be located here

Colleagues,

What a great week!  Thank you for all of your hard work.  Below are some notes for next week and beyond.

Welcome to Lava Ridge!  We’ve got glass!  Pam and Amber have been rockin’ the new slider and the automated doors to the hallways.  This is actually temporary glass and will be replaced with a safer version and locking option soon.  As an additional measure of security we will also be locking the door from the lobby to the office.

 

Week at a Glance for October 1-5

Monday:

  • 8:05 Social Team Meeting in the Media Center

Tuesday:

  • 8:05 Staff Meeting in the Media Center

Wednesday:

  • 8:05 ICCL Meeting
  • SIW @ 2:30 in the Media Center–EBISS Launch

Thursday:

  • PTO Meeting in the Media Center @ 3:45

Friday:

  • Lion Pride Drawing

He’s got it!  One of our 1st graders in action developing his Habits of Mind.

It’s raining confetti!  What a cool product from a buddy class collaboration last week.

 Accelerated Reader-We will be launching Accelerated Reader soon!  The management of AR has shifted this year to being the responsibility of individual schools so we have needed to navigate this change.  More details on a start up date soon!

Battle of the Books-This year, there will potentially be two book clubs that students at Lava Ridge can choose (with parent permission) to join.   These two options are Battle of the Books and Clash of the Classics.  At this point we have coordinators for Class of the Classics and not yet for OBOB.  Please let me know if you might be interested in leading OBOB this year.  If we do not have an adult to lead OBOB this year we will try again next! The titles in both of these clubs can be located here

Shay Mikalson has set up new guidelines for book clubs at schools:

Parent permission slips are required for all book clubs

Meetings, competitions, etc. need to be completed outside of class time.

  • Schools should not schedule assemblies for book clubs
  • Class time, library time, etc. should not be used for competitions
  • Activities connected with book clubs must all be done at voluntary times when students can choose to be there (ie. Lunches, recesses, before or after school)

Carole’s Instructional Tip for the Week to keep in mind for struggling students and our ELLs… Yazmin Flores, a fifth-grade student, shared, “It really helps me when Mrs. Gottschalk goes over the vocabulary words with us before we read.”  Understanding academic vocabulary is critical for students.  Students need to know the meaning of words so they can achieve grade level standards.  Show them with pictures or realia (real examples.)  They thrive on front-loading vocabulary before a unit or story.

2 Hour Secretary Position-To better help elementary schools offices navigate the increased time demands involved with Raptor and secure entries, Human Resources has approved all elementary schools to hire an additional 2 hour secretarial position.  This is a one year position being paid with Title IV dollars.

Some of our 4th graders working away during recess and demonstrating kindness with the poster they are making for Ms. Rodriguez as she recovers from surgery.  This will be delivered with meals soon.

Coaching Options for the year…link below to information from the district coaching team on some professional learning options for the year.   We have budgeted for sub costs related to this professional development so please let me know if you or your team are interested in any of these opportunities.

Coaching Options 2018-19

Wow!  Lots of standards and big mathematical ideas were learned in September Number Corner.  One month down!

*Front of School Roving Crowd Control:  Thank you for reminders to students about walking scooters/bikes, to families with dogs/other animals of our designated pet area by the fire hydrant, and helping to bring in students whose ride has not arrived yet at 3:40.

From Julianne Repmann: Nationwide Emergency System Test- On October 3, 2018, many student, staff and visitor cell phones should receive one emergency test broadcast message with an audible alert sometime between 11:18 and 11:48 a.m.  This broadcast is expected go to Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) compatible cell phones that have wireless carriers that are participating in WEA, which are switched on and within range of the cell tower. These messages are set to alert the public of emergencies — including AMBER alerts and tornado or flood warnings, for example. This test is being conducted by Federal Emergency Management Agency in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission. We want to make you aware of this for two reasons:

  1. This could be a teachable moment for you and your students OR it could be a distraction to your teaching and learning environment if cell phones are on and receiving messages during this time.
  2. This is not a test conducted by Bend-La Pine Schools. This is the first nationwide Presidential-level WEA test and individuals cannot opt out.

Test Details:

During the WEA test, cell phone users should receive a single, distinct dialog box on their device, which should say “Presidential Alert” followed by “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” This text should be accompanied by a special tone and vibration, which should be repeated twice.

To learn more about this test, please review the following documents:

September 21

Colleagues, 

Thank you for providing a rich week of learning for our students!  Below are some notes for next week and beyond…

Pac-Man!  At lunch duty I noticed this and it got me thinking of the different strategies we can use to make sure that students know and understand what they are learning.

 

Quick tips from our ELL’s…Carole Nase recently asked some of our ELL students “What helps you to understand what teachers want you to learn in class”?  “It really helps me when my teacher shows me what to do in my classroom. Mrs. Sultzer shows me how to write by giving examples.” Rudi Rodriguez

Rudi’s feedback connects with a big idea from SIOP: *Demonstrations provide visual support and modeling for ELL’s. * (Making Content Comprehensible… the SIOP model by Echevarria Vogt, and Short.   Thank you Carole!

From early in the week….our 4th graders using iPads to investigate helicopters and how they fly.  Go scientific process!

Fans- The fans in our classrooms do not shut off automatically.  Thank you for turning them off at the close of the day
