PLC with Grade-Levels for Lexile

Mrs. Deep conducted a PLC meeting with each grade level during their planning times. During this PLC, Mrs. Deep discussed lamination procedures, updates about Lexile levels, new student procedures, and Google Classroom Staff Development dates and times. The lamination procedures are listed below: • Place items on back counter next to the lamination machine • Place the sticky note with the first number on the sticky note (First person puts the “1” sticky note on their items, second person places the “2” sticky note on their item, etc.). • Visit the workroom after school or the next day to see if your items have been laminated. The new updates about Lexile were fairly similar to the information given at the end of the year. Students take a STAR test on Renaissance at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. This STAR test measures their grade level equivalence and their Lexile. The STAR test seems to score the students around 100 points higher than that of the Georgia Milestones. This helps the teachers to more accurately identify how well their students will perform on the Georgia Milestones. New student procedures are listed below: • Wait until the new student is added into PowerSchool • Email Deep (Media Specialist), Connell (Front Office Secretary), and White (Technology Director) with the students name and ask for them to be added into the school programs Lastly, Mrs. Deep invited all of the teachers in each PLC to come to the Google Classroom Staff Development. The K-2 Google Classroom development will take place on September 10th. The 3-5 Google Classroom development will take place on September 18th. If they attend the staff development, they will receive one PLU for their attendance. Additionally, if they would rather work one-on-one with Mrs. Deep or I on their Google Classroom, we will do so and they will still earn their PLU. I will be teaching both the K-2 and 3-5 staff development.
