August 2025 4+1: Canvas Resource Course

For our District 4+1 Days, resources for most sessions have been posted in a Canvas course so that you can go back to review session learning any time, any place, and at your own pace.

All certificated staff have been enrolled in the course, and it can be found in your Canvas Dashboard.

Here is the link to the course: August 2025 4+1 Sessions

If for some reason you don't have access to the course, you can self-enroll using this link: https://fwps.instructure.com/enroll/CMGCXD

If you need support, contact us at helpdesk@fwps.org.

Have a great start to the school year!

Isn't it hard to be such an amazing staff!

# data[].attributes.body
In Setting Measurable Goals for Data Tracking he gave us this convenient template to use!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about mClass and how to look at student progress over several years.

# data[].attributes.body
For our students with Autism (but also any student with "rigid" thinking):

Work = Play

Play = Work

The least structured times of the day are the times when they will probably struggle. Preparing for this ahead of time with some built in structures can make a world of difference.

I-ready 45-60 min block routines for try-discuss-connect. The instructor also spoke about using I-Ready games and activities on the 'refine' days.

# data[].attributes.body
Phonics lesson plan that was shared with us for planning a small group or one on one intervention lesson

Handout from high stress session.

How do we deal with less desirable behaviors? We cannot be driven by our reactions. We need to ask WHY students are expressing that behavior. Look for patterns.

# data[].attributes.body
When using visuals for routines and structures, there are four questions that should be answered for clarity: 1. What is the work? 2. How much work? 3. How do I know I am finished? 4. What do I do next?

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that there are 3 recommended fluency routines when reading Geodes Echo, Choral, and Partner

i liked learning more details about morning meetings, in the SEL class.

Traci : Morning Meetings- Have a consistent routine to build community, connection and relationships amongst students and teacher. 

# data[].attributes.body
This takes about 10-15 minutes

1. Greeting-greet

2. Sharing- use conversation prompts

3. Activity/Game- could be second step related?

4. Morning Message/Schedule

# data[].attributes.body
Did you know that there is a 20 min. online course ( CANVAS) staff can take for McKinney Vento that will then allow you to then have access to the files in our building. THAT MEANS YOU COULD POTENTIALLY KNOW IF ANY OF YOUR STUDENTS ARE MCKINNEY VENTO. Think about how helpful that can be. We talk about ACES and that can be a BIG one that we do not always know.

Different types of work systems

# data[].attributes.body
Visual Support Example

# data[].attributes.body
A great way to engage families in academics at home is to film a lesson and share it via ParentSquare. This way families know what the learning looks like and it's more engaging than a boring Fundations/iReady newsletter!

# data[].attributes.body
LAMP communication devices are great for ML students as well as students with more extreme communication needs.

# data[].attributes.body
When a student is escalated, visuals are better than verbal.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that LAMP has a phonics keyboard that speaks the sounds

# data[].attributes.body
Some books that were shared during our MTSS Literacy session that I'm curious about/ seemed to be some great resources! The Megabook of Fluency, Speech to Print: Language Essentials for Teachers, Phonics From A to Z

UFLI also has many free resources we can use for literacy intervention!

# data[].attributes.body
Things to take into account to support our students in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Step 4 is the part of the cycle where we, as teachers, can make an impact. We can make an impact by building positive relationships with students, having consistent routines and relationships and giving students a sense of purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
Lumio has premade digital Fundations magnet boards!

But also a lot of really great other resources for almost everything. Attendance, math, small groups, etc. They can save directly to your smart board too, so you don't even need to connect a computer. Great for subs :)

# data[].attributes.body
Co-planning and co-teaching with ML teachers and Resource teachers is ideal but where can we streamline collaboration that doesn't look like ML teachers/ Resource teachers running themselves ragged going from meeting to meeting?

# data[].attributes.body
Decodable text routine. Great for common ground and alignment among teams.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to stay C.A.L.M. when things are dysregulated. Model it for our students!

·       Center

·       Active listening

·       Logic over emotion

·       Mindful speaking

# data[].attributes.body
This was shared during the Root in Belonging session that I attended - so cool!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about Geodes and Innovamats (sp?) today!

# data[].attributes.body
Team 4/5 is winning this challenge 🫡

# data[].attributes.body
Important contacts in the district if you need help with family support or contacts

# data[].attributes.body
The district created a cultural calendar, so we can be aware of specific cultural celebrations that our families may participate in!

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
How often should I use progress monitoring you ask?  Let's get to green!

# data[].attributes.body
iReady Differentiation Padlet shared in a session today...

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about utilizing Microsoft to assistive tech to do many things including: translating pages, Immersive Reader, and picture dictionaries.

# data[].attributes.body
Microsoft’s Immersive Reader is now integrated into Lumio (Smart Board Program) which results in many opportunities for providing access.

# data[].attributes.body
Writing a postcard to new or former students to welcome them back to school! Great way to start connecting with students and families before school even begins!

# data[].attributes.body
Some really great visual supports in "Supporting Students with Autism" such as visual schedules, task boards, etc.

Structuring Supports for Students with Autism.pptx

# data[].attributes.body
Structuring supports for students with autism was really informative and I liked the examples in the slides.

# data[].attributes.body
Consistency and coherency!! Hearing it all around town! Big Part of belonging and ATTENDANCE!

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed the intentional use and incorporation of land acknowledgements today during each of my sessions.

# data[].attributes.body
We are learning strategies to build strong partnerships with families and parents, during the Partners in Progress : Building Authentic Family Engagement session :)

# data[].attributes.body
The session about belonging and inclusive classrooms was awesome! SO many great strategies! Also a cool self reflection/ assessment tool was shared which I will give to the PBIS team.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting started in our family engagement class!

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborating with other 5th Grade peeps learning RoboGuardians!

# data[].attributes.body
Felt like Rock Stars during the Innovamat session! It was nice to have a head start! I also really like how they made changes based on our feedback!!!!

Land acknowledgement and it's importance

Land acknowledgement and it's importance

# data[].attributes.body
The John McKoy (lulilas) since time immemorial is a 5th grade STEM unit that we can use to teach students about the land that we live in and the Native Americans that we borrow land from. This can teach the scholars to be change makers as well as how to protect the land.

# data[].attributes.body
The refine session of I-Ready should not be whole group. This is the time to differentiate and lean into centers/stations. Extensions and reteaching with small groups should be encouraged.

# data[].attributes.body
Our new STI unit looks really interesting! I am excited to have a really strong STEM unit to implement. We get to use this great read aloud by a Native American author!

# data[].attributes.body
I went to the staff Wellness class. This was the first time I met the Wellness person from the district. She is so great! I found out that she will come to school if Admin requests her. We have so many resources available to us Canvas!

# data[].attributes.body
iready has a lot of resources for tier 2 intervention but we were told we can use them in tier 1. I’ll link the padlet from the session to this padlet.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned a lot about Lumio and ways to use it for iready or wonders. 3rd grade was there too. We’re thinking it would be really good for wonders tests for students who are needing the text read to them. The specialist has an instagram with lots of videos showing how to do different things.

Excited to practice team teaching and station teaching!

# data[].attributes.body
Even though I’m a long term sub, everyone has welcomed me and I have definitely learned a lot through trainings and my colleagues 🫶🏼

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting to dig into UFLI a bit. I am wondering if there is any way to access the Geodes for Grade 3?

# data[].attributes.body
Finally, after 20 years of asking...We get some focused PD on teaching phonics to intermediate. Now if only the district would have realized hey, we should have just done letters training during 4 +1, instead of taking teachers away from the school day...I would have bee even happier!

# data[].attributes.body
I know how to find and delete "ghost" accounts on Destiny! We have over 500 accounts in our system for students who no longer attend school in FWPS. Many are now adults :)

Miss you all 😭
