Did you get the School Messenger? If not...call me! :)

Are Ya Gearin' Up?
My guess is that in some way you've started thinking about your students and your classroom! GREAT! Have you also thought about:

• Learning Targets - how will you post and teach the Learning Targets?
• Classroom Management - how will you teach what and how you want your students to do?
• Communication - how will you communicate with parents early and often?

Field Studies

• Elementary Standards Based Gradebook - anyone interested with a select few providing feedback to ITC
• Bridges Math Curriculum at grades 3, 5, & 6
• District Reading Assessments at grades 2 through 6
• ELL Learning and Progress through the use of GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design) strategies

With targeted planning and goal setting, along with the belief that all Hunt students are OUR students - we will "Come Together" and achieve GREAT things!
