Weekly Update - February 24th, 2021

 The year is flying by and it is once again time for STAR testing.  Please complete the fourth round of STAR testing sometime the first couple of weeks of March.  Remember to discuss with students their goal for this upcoming assessment.

Also - we will soon be taking our last round of MAP testing.  We will open up the window the week before spring break.  As a grade level - decide if you want to do the last round the week before or the week after.  

We also have scheduled Parent Teacher conferences for March 29th and 30th.  We will do two evenings  - 4 to 6 each evening.  We are going to do this like we did in the fall - 20 minute sessions that allows you the opportunity to meet with parents alone.  Please send out a form or way for parents to sign up for their time.  This will be a great opportunity to discuss progress for the year.  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also next week is our Panther Store for January and February.  Please remember to fill out the Class Party form and submit by tomorrow afternoon.   Here is the schedule for Panther Store on Tuesday in the library - please fill in a time for your homeroom to visit.  

Ms. Sue Elise sent an email about Jason Lindsey, the Science Guy, doing a Google Meet with all grade levels next Tuesday, March 2nd at 1 pm.   You will access this through the CCES 2020-2021 Google Classroom - just like morning meeting.  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also - please be very cautious to view and listen to all videos that you are using in class - whether in-person or VIP.  This includes videos from trusted sources like BrainPop, Flocabulary, etc.  This week we had an issue with a BrainPop video sharing content that we are not comfortable with for our students.  We are in a day and time that there are issues that can be very controversial to discuss with students and we need to be cautious.  Let me know if you have questions.  

Have a great weekend!

Weekly Update - February 4, 2021

KPREP Assessment Link

Mrs. Parson sent this link in email this week.  If you have not already checked it out - please do so.  This is a really good indication of what we are preparing students for as far as assessment goes. 

After looking at survey results, we have decided that we are going to do two more Panther Stores during the remainder of the year.  We will do one on March 2nd for January and February.  Please continue doing behavior calendars and some system of awarding Panther Bucks.  We will give more details about the Panther Store toward the end of the month.  

Jason Lindsey will be conducting a live science show on February 18th for all CCES students @ 1:00.   It will be a 30 minute live science show with hands-on activity. The students will receive an activity kit to be completed at that time with Jason Lindsey. Also, the students will receive a 2nd kit for family science engagement activity where the students take it home to complete with parents.  A 15 minute pre recorded video will be provided for families to watch that evening or over the weekend.   Students that complete the family engagement activity (post a photo) will have their name entered into a drawing.   We will draw the following Monday, February  22nd.  The family portion will need to be through Google Classroom.
