Staff meeting to discuss swine flu, precautions, and response to. Art docent presentation. This is a pull out activity with a volunteer. PTSA rep discussed the big fund raiser, Jog-athon. Expect to raise $30k. Round table discussion with grade level teachers about Learning Goals. At end of day, resumption of staff and development meeting. Review of goals and objectives from last year with the WASL scores. Review of Continuous Improvement Plan. While all the Quest kids did well well on the WASL’s, they are further judged to the Quest standard. Most of their difficulties generally are in writing. Their math and reading skills are excellent. Even in 5/6 class the teacher reports poor writing, lack of punctuation, capitalizing, etc.. Reviewed on the web the Singapore Math curriculum and will test our kids on the sample tests provided on the web site.
One student who struggles with math on his own and getting started, when seated next to me (at the direction of the MT), and with a little encouragement, does very well with minimum intervention. Not sure if it is a confidence issue, or a just starting problem. Will need to think of a strategy to address this as I obviously cannot sit with him during math when I am teaching.
