Questions to Consider:
1.  What attributes to the success that your grade level is having regarding these STAR scores?
2.  What areas of weakness or concern do you have regarding the reading level of students?
3.  In 5/6 grade levels, the percentages went down slightly from the October testing.  We know that part of this can be because it is a moving target.  Our goal for our students keeps increasing.  What can we do to ensure that our students stay up with that moving target?
4.  Is the data we are collecting for STAR scores consistent with other sources of data like MAP, CPA, Core, etc?
5.  We are at the half-way point of our school year.  What needs to change to improve instruction and learning for the remainder of the year?

We will discuss the scores and questions next week at PLC's.  Please bring a device or hard copy of your STAR scores next week.  Also - please put your STAR scores into your data tracker as soon as  you can.

We will have a Christmas Potluck on Thursday during lunch time.  The school will be providing baked ham.  Staff can sign-up to bring side dishes and desserts.  I will put a sign-up in Ms. Sonya's office.  

*Please make sure you have your Teach Like a Pirate book for SLED days.  Also remind students of their SLED packets and how that works.
