Reading Corner
Title One Compacts
Thank you to everyone who has returned your blue (student) and yellow (teacher) forms. Shout out to Romeo and Dumford - 100%. Continue to put those in my mailbox or give to an SGI as they come in… PLEASE make sure you put your name at the top. We will begin to bring you additional copies for those we are missing.
Notice and Note
- Notice and Note Posters - Thanks Izzo!!
- Def. of Independent Reading - Vanishing Content Style (from PEAK training). Use as you see fit!! Thanks Caley!!
Independent reading is reading a text by yourself with deep engagement.
Engagement means thinking about the text and building ideas about it.
- COMING SOON….. “Notice and Note Signpost” videos / reading passages…GOAL is to have the first set to you by next Friday.
Eagle Time
At next Wednesdays PLC meetings I should have the Eagle Time groups completed. I will need teacher input on which teacher/SGI you want to lead this group. We will be providing the reading material….you all will be providing the math for now. With the exception of our HillRAP groups, most will be doing two days of reading and two days of math.
Questions???? See Amy
Positive Phone Calls
We will be making positive phone calls again this year.
-MGSD expectation that all students get a positive call within the first month of school.
-This can be done via phone call OR this year can be done in dojo portfolios.
-Please see Ms. Cosme/Ms. Snyder for examples of the dojo version or Tara/Mesha for assistance setting it up.
-The Dojo version is VERY easy, can include our growth mindset theme AND parents have been so receptive.
Please note when you have made a positive call or Dojo here.
Healthy Staff = Happy School

Walking Challenge & Walking Club- Let's create a team to compete with other MGSD schools!
(see Kim Killian if you would like additional information)
Please also remember that MGSD offers an Employee Assistance Program which is a great resource that can provide support to both staff members and staff families. Cards are available on the front desk.
