Again thank you for making such a big deal about my birthday yesterday, it meant a lot to me.
I am going to start using titles that reflect the content of each blog instead of "Week 5, etc" so that we can easily go into the archives and find specific information through the blog.
Please take a few moments to complete this 5-question survey about this blog to provide me with some feedback as to its efficiency: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NDG3P9V
Nuestro Mundo in the News

Staff Meeting
Monday, October, 7th, will be our monthly staff meeting. We will start out with a few business items and then have breakout sessions based on the effective use of Mondo and Calle materials during our literacy block.
Please plan to be in Sarah Niesen's room by 2pm sharp so we can get started and end on time. Thanks!
Keyboarding
We are required to begin keyboarding instruction from 3rd through 5th grades in preparation for the SMARTER Balanced Assessment next year. Thanks to Sarah Niesen and Susan Janik for taking the initiative in keeping up with this. Below is some information and a link.
A Google spreadsheet was shared with relevant staff that has student usernames and passwords.
The code for adding students on the log in page for your school is: nuestro
The link for your school is in the application launcher and on the library site for each school.
I added some videos to share with teachers in your building as well. I will continue to add them as requests come in...
We will address this together soon to clarify and move forward with the keyboarding instruction.
Celebrate Smiles
Dentists will be set up in the building Monday-Friday of next week to provide free dental services to some of our neediest kids. Representatives of the program will be coming around during the day to get students whose parents have signed up for this service. Please welcome these reps and the dentists into our building and thank them for their services.
Big, Huge, shout-out to Carolyn Chadderdon, the most amazing school nurse in the city of Madison, for coordinating this important program.
SIP
The School-based Leadership Team will be meeting on Tuesday afternoon 3:30-5:00pm to finalize the Professional Learning Plan and thereby finalizing our School Improvement Plan.
