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.
