Mardi Gras Break Reflection

Thank you for another great week and for supporting the assessment for getting students on the myON system before we leave for the Mardi Gras break. I know that it has been one more thing to add to an all ready full plate, but you all have handled it with such grace.

Please see my schedule attached for this week. Some times are if needed as I will try to give all of my extra time to assist with getting students finished testing with myON. It takes a lot of hands for our younger students to go through the process on the computer. We have already heard some positive feedback about students using the program. Also, I have been in classes where students are on the program during independent reading and all but one seemed to really like

the program. Some teachers have used it in a variety of ways in their classes; projecting a book for a whole class activity, small group activity, and independent reading.

Marsha and I visited the Killona Community Center Thursday and the director shared that she all ready has students from LES coming in and going straight to the computers to get on the program. She was very excited to learn about the program and will support students at the center.

Mr. Pethe’ approved funding to add the National Geographic books for all schools this week. I will work with Toni to get the order in and the titles in our library. Students should be excited about the new titles and this allows more resources for our teachers with science/social studies. I will keep you posted as to when the titles will become available so you can inform your teachers.
