CGES Preview
October 19-23
It Was The Week Before Halloween....
CGES Eagles,
...And all through the school, everyone was just trying to play it cool. :)
Hopefully we can enjoy a calm week after this crazy week and next week's busy week!
Have the best weekend, see you Monday.

Teaching & Learning
Math
New intervention groups meet DAILY from 8:25-8:40. Kids are making great growth. You can use the math fluency screener to progress monitor. In my group where we are counting, I have just been making sure kids have the skill independently before moving them on to the next group. These are all about mastering the skill fluently. Please check your group on Fridays to see if anyone needs to move and then update the document. We are switching to ONLY moving kids on Fridays to help lessen the crazy.
**Starting on Nov. 2nd we will move math interventions to 8:20**
Reading
CGCC is taking a deep dive into Wonders and Amplify as possibilities for our reading curriculum adoption. If you have feedback, please send it to Mrs. Hillary or myself. Please note, whatever is chosen, we will use with fidelity.
See below for logins for both.
Interim Assessments
We will NOT be doing Interim Assessments this week as they are not yet ready to be set up. The window has been pushed back, so we do have some wiggle room. Be ready to do these in November. There is one 45-60 minute test for ELA and one 45-60 minute test for math (3rd-5th), and one 45-60 minute test for science (5th only).

Information
Interim Assessments
Are on hold until we can get everything up and running and kids can get into KITE. The window has been extended to mid November, so we have a little extra wiggle room. Interims are for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. There is one 30-45 minute test for ELA and Math (3rd-5th) and one 30-45 minute test for Science (5th only).
ELA Curriculum Questions
If you have questions about the ELA curriculums we are looking at please put them on this document. We will use this when we meet with vendors and when teachers go to visit schools to see these curriculums in action.
Math Interventions
We will plan to add in 3rd-5th grade students in math interventions on November 9th. Please have all of your students on this document by November 2nd. On November 2nd, we will change Math Interventions to 8:20-8:35. Specials Schedules will be adjusted a little bit on this day as well. They will look like this:
4th: 8:35-9:25
5th: 9:25-10:15
