2. This is my 9th year at Miami Elementary
Meet the Teacher
This is my 9th year at Miami Elementary
I am a graduate of Central Michigan University with a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. I also have a Masters of Art in teaching with a focus in K-5 Mathematics.
I am looking forward to working with you and your child in reaching their full potential. We will have many wonderful experiences and opportunities to learn and
grow in the days ahead.
All text can be changed on these slides. Blank slides are included at the end if you need more slides or prefer to have your slides not have the header with the fish and shells at the top.

3. Behavior Management
All students start at “Ready to Camp” Clips can move up or down throughout the day Behavior Tracker will note where your child's clip ended each day
Explain your method of managing behavior. Do you use a clip chart? Card pulling system? Something else? Include a picture if you can!

4. Journeys
Explain what students will be required to learn/do in reading this year. You might want to talk about Daily 5/Literacy Centers/Workstations if you use them in your classroom. In fact, you might want to duplicate this slide and add your center information to a separate slide.

5. Children Always Making Progress
C.A.M.P.
Children Always Making Progress
Each child will be assessed on several early literacy skills.
The results of these assessments will determine which Base Camp
your child is in.  Each Base Camp is designed to meet the instructional
needs of your child.  Children will be regularly re-assessed to
determine if they are progressing as expected.  Based on those
results Base Camp may be adjusted or changed throughout the
course of the school year.

6. Math Expectations * Recognize and write numbers up to 20
* Count by 1's and 10's to 100

8. Children are assessed both formally and informally throughout the year
Assessments
Children are assessed both formally and informally throughout the year
NWEA:  fall, winter and spring testing in reading and math
Journeys: screener and assessments will measure mastery with Kindergarten standards in reading and writing.
Bridges Math Number Corner Checkups:  September, October, January, March and May assessments (interview and performance tasks)
On this slide explain what assessments your students are required to take such as GMADE, GRADE, DIBELS, or other standardized tests. You might also want to include some information about spelling tests or other weekly tests.

9. Third Grade Retention Bill
MCL f:  Deficiency is defined in the law as “scoring below grade level, or being determined to be at-risk of reading failure based on a screening assessment, diagnostic assessment, standardized summative assessment, or progress monitoring.”
Students who fit this criteria in third grade will be retained in third grade
How do we prevent this?

10. Individualized Reading Plan
IRP:  Individualized Reading Plan
October:  if your child's assessments show that they are at-risk in the area of reading we will implement an IRP.  This will be closely monitored by teaching staff, Mr. Bulgrin and our school support team.
IRP Components:  At home reading program, parental attendance at regular conferences/meetings, participation in comprehensive ELA program (Journeys), participation in prescribed interventions
Students can be placed on an IRP at any time as their assessments and growth are reviewed.
We must work together!
