A Message From Nancy


Please read the messages below from our Director of School Quality (DSQ), Nancy Kouba-aka..My Boss! 😃

Read Aloud pacing
If Read Aloud is taking too long (as it is in most schools!), have teachers cut back on some of the questioning.  i.e. If the skill is conflict, advise them to use the questions pertaining to conflict, specifically. Move faster if students seem to 'get it'.  For at-risk students, choose questions that will have more bang for their buck.  This should take at least a few minutes off the RA lesson.  And, as teachers get more familiar with the structure of Read Aloud, it will get faster by default.

K-2 Picture Perfect books
If you haven’t received your Read Aloud books for science, don’t worry!  NHA has already communicated the Unit 1 books are available via PowerPoint on myNHA.  The Unit 2 books are in process and the hope is they will be ready this week. 

Classroom curtains/blinds
If your teachers have curtains or blinds hung in their door window, please make sure they are tied back/together so there is always clear view into their classroom.  The only time the curtains should be covering their door window is during a lockdown situation/drill.
