Kindergarten Data teams- October 10/10/22

Agenda

-Go over Guided Math info from Arianna Snapp

-Check out padlet for data team requirements

-TSSI folders/how to gather the info for Tier 3 students

Plan is for data teams is to meet every 2 weeks- can be brief, focused- key points will be how are you providing differentiation? Share what works for your students

K teams will meet every other Wednesday- 1 week discuss Math, next week Reading

4 big questions that we should always be keeping in mind- what should kids know, how to we know what they have learned, how to we get them there if not, what about those kids that already know

Guided Math- report from Arianna Snapp

- Should be starting Math groups 4x a week

- We have different methods/models available for us (check out the 3 and choose best for you)

- # 2 may work for more fluent/higher math students

- Whole group, problem of the day, quick check, literature connection

- Goal of guided math = increase of math scores

- Want kids playing games- practice work

- Dr.Nikki Newton- What is Guided Math?

- Importance of closure- wrap up is critical component

- 4-5 students is ideal for small group instruction

- Take her survey

SOARING INTO EFFECTIVE DATA TEAMS

1.)   Make Sure Roles Are Represented:

Examples:

Timekeeper:

Secretary:

Engaged Participant:

Focus Monitor

Reporter:

Data Manager

2.)   Make Sure Our Strategic Plan Goals are Reviewed and a Focus:

~77% of Hedgesville Elementary School Students will perform "At Grade Level," in both Reading and Mathematics on the Spring iReady Assessment.

~Identify at-risk students and implement and track emotional health support practices 100% of the time as measured by Counselor Logs, Attendance Records, PBIS Records, and Olweus Meeting Logs.

~Increase the effectiveness of the school's SAT and MTSS

processes within 98% compliance as measured by a Spring

mock audit by district collaborator

3.)    Check in on your Tier 2 students and note:

Have they progressed?

What data did you look at or discuss at the meeting? (ie: student work samples, best practices?)

Keep in mind:

Children must have Tier 2 services before they are brought to SAT unless you feel that there is a crystal clear undiagnosed matter at hand.

Many students may have Tier 2 services from you and move on to Tier 1.  Only when a child is proving stagnant in Tier 2 or regressing, do you need to fill out the Tier 2 Support Tracking Form.

4.)   For Fall, Winter, and Spring, Add your data to the school’s Data Dashboard.  As a team, discuss what practices are eliciting growth.

5.)   Discuss Best Practices and Ways to support each other.

Data Team Notes for Kindergarten 8/18/22

Present- Linda Albright,  Rebecca Brock, Janet Murphy, Tammy Potter, Lauren Spencer, Lisa Taylor, Terra Triggs, Bitsy Wright

-Discussed recess times and locations:

11:50- 12:20 Brock, Gillis, Potter, Taylor

12:30-1:00 Albright, Snapp, Spencer, Wright                     2:30-3:00 Triggs

PBIS- We are concerned with having to use 2 different platforms Seesaw for parents and Dojo for behavior/rewards system. We all liked Dojo and were comfortable with it

TSS- We need more support for Kindergarten- early intervention is key esp for Reading

Padlet- We agreed it is complicated to navigate. There is so much info it Is hard to find specifics. We would prefer a drop down menu for ease of navigation. We did not have much time to explore Padlet and agreed to delve into it more at our next available time on 10/10

Book Inventories- We understand this includes all our new Scholastic leveled readers.

We questioned- What about previous reading series books? Does this include our “teacher”  books? Does this really even apply to Kindergarten because so many of our class books are primer levels? When would our inventory need to be done? What was app we can use?

Parent Pickups- We talked about the need for more assistance in the gym bc aides cant stay at the beginning of the year when teachers  walk our kids out to their individual buses. Janet suggested maybe pick up kids tgo to an assigned spot daily or by each class so all know who kids are and where they are.

1 st week- All teachers wait with their classes in the gym as they get off the bus until kids start to know where to go, sort our kids by teacher but have partner teachers to help if one teacher goes back to their class so kids arent left alone without a familiar teacher .

Leadership team informed K team of their meeting- specifically new snack information having permission for “instructional snacks”, follow smart nutrition guidelines

# data[].attributes.body
We (Brock, Gillis, Snapp, Spencer, Triggs) met on Wed., Oct. 26 @ 1:45 pm to discuss math and ways to instruct our students.

At the beginning of the year, we usually begin teaching math in whole group.  As the year progresses, we then begin centers. There are times, though, when we still teach in whole group when necessary.

We feel that the workbook pages can be used in one center or in whole group. Other centers can be games, iPads/computers, stem (blocks, magnatiles, anything building, etc.), geoboards, attribute/pattern blocks, patterns, numbers, cards, dice, dominoes, counters -- the list goes on and on.

Manipulatives are very important in kindergarten -- hands on is imperative.  If manipulatives are needed in the classroom, please give Ariana a list of needed materials or directly contact Anne Laskey -- she has a storage unit full!  Ariana has resources for games that she received from her math group meeting. We can go to BCS Schoology K-5 Teacher Group, then resources, then kindergarten (games are in this folder).

We are concerned that we do not have YouTube or YouTube Kids access (we use it extensively -- songs, videos, exercises, brain breaks, teachable moments, research for something we have just discussed with the kids).  Ariana found out from her math group meeting that other schools still have access. We are wondering why this is so????

# data[].attributes.body
Kindergarten Data teams- October 10/26/22 (2nd planning- Albright, Potter, Taylor)

Guided Math-

Talked about Guided Math planning- are we ready to start, have we checked the videos yet? Can we use the Everyday Mathematics-minute math booklets? Do all teachers have them?

We may use the Question of the Day prompts from the Math series as power points or slides or see if TPT has a quick/easy questions

Book Scanning-

-     how  are we progressing with our scanned book

-      did we import the Scholastic ones from the master list?

-      storage of all our books?

Time-

-       we all feel under a time crunch- there is too much to do and not enough time during our school                              days

-       we are getting a good handle on guided reading groups but its intimidating to start on guided    math as well- how to get organized, restructure our days

4 big questions-

-    we know the skills our kids need to know because we have to assess them for evidence

-    we know where our kids are right now because we just did report card assessments

-     we are doing guided reading groups to help our lower students catch up and will start guided       math groups

# data[].attributes.body
Kindergarten data team meeting, 11/9/22 @ 1:45 pm (Brock, Gillis, Snapp, Spencer, Triggs – 1st K specials group)

Reading:  2 are following Scholastic order of letters; 3 are following OG order of letters.

It was discussed that we are not really using the graphic organizers in Scholastic but are still teaching main ideas, characters, settings, conclusions, story details, sequencing, cause and effect, retelling, predicting, summarizing, etc. We are using what we feel will benefit the students the best – not necessarily the Scholastic workbooks.

We are faithfully using Jack Hartmann/Heidi Songs/Jack and Jan sight words videos to supplement our teaching and using Heggerty PA faithfully as well.

There are times when we struggle to meet with all reading groups every day.  We do try to meet with our lowest reading groups at least 4x/week.  We are using decodable readers, leveled readers, writing sentences, using sentence scrambles, sight word hunts/recognition, letter recognition, PA, etc. in our reading groups.

Concerns:  Gillis and Snapp will be out the same time for maternity leave – March/April timeframe through end of year.  Snapp is covered; Gillis not sure yet (person can do 9 days, then day off, then 9 days, etc.).  Aides may help cover reading groups while teacher is out on maternity leave for continuity.

Scholastic Assessments

* Most are nearly finished -- some still have words to assess and running records to continue.

* The word assessment should only be 1-5 this period; do 1-10 at the end of the year because the words have blends, digraphs.

Scholastic Curriculum
* Some are using Scholastic workbook pages – mostly the letter writing pages in the student resource workbook.

* Some are reading the read-aloud stories and using some of the mini-booklets. We are using our own books as read-alouds.

* We continue to not be impressed with the Scholastic curriculum for kindergarten.

Math Standards & Grant

* Finished desegregating Math standards
*We felt that all of us have too much on our plates right now (trying to finish Scholastic assessments; just finishing ELRS/report card assessments).

* We felt that the up to 3 hours pay was a nice offering but not worth using our own time to write the grant.

* The grant is very involved -- more so than other grants that some have written in the past.

* We were confused as to what manipulatives are needed.  Everyone in our group seemed to be fine.  If materials are needed, Anne Laskey can be contacted -- she has lots of manipulatives for use in our classrooms somewhere in storage.

* We wondered about storage space for the grant items if received.  (MH: Good point!  Ashley's Office Area or the bookroom would be a great spot.  Let's work on that.)

Kindergarten 1/18/23 (2nd planning- Albright, Potter, Taylor)

# data[].attributes.body
We talked about the Math grant and whether we needed more manipulatives. We were wondering if TPT resources/games are appropriate for the Math grant. If so we could all  choose individually what games/sets/ bundles we would want to print and keep them in our own rooms instead of finding a way to share/store.

We also noticed that a lot of the stored games/manipulatives that were meant for Kindergarten that used to be stored at the end of the k hall by Julianne are now missing/incomplete. We are wondering if they are in other classes or have been lost/stolen.

We discussed procedures for retentions- the letter to go home and the paperwork to go to the office.

We are all VERY excited to be done with reading/NSGRA assessments. For next year we would like to have a few weeks to work with students in small Reading groups before we jump into testing again. Since we use most of December to assess for report cards we haven't "taught" skills since November.

Continued Breaking apart Math Standards and turned in sheet to Ashley

# data[].attributes.body
(Albright, Potter, Taylor)

TSS- not applicable for K except new math Blue Ridge interventionist groups

We watched WVDE commercial/ video- Ready, Read, Write, lots of buzz words but no action steps. We already know that Reading is the most important for all

Writing assessments- we look at student writing samples, free writing time, journals instead of dictated sentences bc is more authentic. We think it is consistent w 3 of us but none of use a formal written assessment except for report cards when we assess printing letters or printing cvc words

We looked at technology resources- some of the 100 day keynote ideas were ok but we would rather use paper/hard copy versions. It didn't seem to be a big benefit to be able to do electronically. A lot was not really appropriate for our students to do independently.

We talked a bit how reading groups are going at this point of the year too.

TSS

·      Tier 3 – our K group may have 3-4 who would be Tier 3 next year.

·      Retentions -- our group has 3 possible retentions.

We watched the ready-read-write video – 5 pillars of reading (goes along with Jan Richardson Next Steps, Heggerty, OG). Using this in our reading groups and whole group instruction.

Writing assessments – we do the following:

·      Dictate sentences and illustrate

·      Board work

·      Dictate CVC words and sentences (OG)

·      Make simple sentences and illustrate

·      Fill in sentences

·      Print upper/lowercase letters/numbers

We do not use something across K that is the same other than testing for printing of letters, numbers.

2nd Kindergarten planning data team 3/8 (Linda Albright, Tammy Potter, Lisa Taylor)

-       Tammy gave us an update on what the new K report card team has discussed as essential skills for the Reading area

-              Some debate as to what consensus will be because each group has different ideas,

still gathering information

-               Will new report card have work habits/behavioral habits? We need them

-       Where are we in the Math chapters? Most of us starting addition chapter but it is not enough content to reach mastery so we will all be supplementing with addition without pictures for a week or 2 as well

-       Updating where we are with guided reading. Now that report card testing done we are ready to start guided reading groups again or do running records to check what the students current levels are

-       Update Heggerty- do we feel it is helping? Are we all using the same hand motions as in the guidebook or using our own? Can we see the difference with phonemic awareness?

Grow- To have the literacy playbook added?? Or scope and sequence documents

How to inventory libraries:

We suggest getting an app paid for by the county with a scanner. The free app doesn’t have all the books.

We do not mind having pto members in our rooms to scan books. Butler says if she has the app she will do herself.

Notes: We discussed how to assess sight words. Going to use Dr. Fry’s 100 words.

First Grade Data Team Agenda 11/30 & 12/1

Tier II Data Collection for Reading and Math

-Zearn can be counted as math Tier-2 minutes.

-Jan 2-Feb 20 next data collection

-Begin thinking of Tier-2 students who we need documentation on.

Standards and Focusing on Scope and Sequence

-Science Curriculum map is on Padlet

-We received a paper copy of ELA Curriculum Map

Guided Math Support

-A Guided Math packet was given to us with center ideas.

-Zearn is a math app option.

# data[].attributes.body
Present: Butler, Cox, Enns, Lyons, Palmer, Murphy, Shank, Snyder
Agenda Points:
1) Documenting TSS information: We discussed how we are organizing the information and who is keeping documentation on tier II students. Dehaven keeps documentation on those students. We need to document when we meet with students. Discussed printing scores and other documentation for folders prior to moving to 2nd grade.
2) WVDE site: The video shows we are moving in the right direction. We are curious as to how/when we will be effected by this? How does our current reading program support this?? We need more intervention support in K-2 schools to make this happen.
3) Writing assessment: we discussed what works for some. Some teachers are documenting in a grade book based on writing assignments and dictation sentences. Some use anecdotal notes on students during writing time. We know it is important to have documentation for parents and tier II/III students and possible retentions.
Other:
Discussed field trip to Shenandoah Valley Museum. We will have chaperone names in by March 30th. Send out to all parents and select 4-6 from those interested. We are going to make a list of expectations required by chaperones to engage students in the activities.
Create an expectations of first graders for spring letter to parents. What are the things we feel students should be able to do to be a successful first grade graduate? Discuss more on Feb 20th.
We also discussed the steps that need to be taken to change the criteria for tierIII students. If we are going to use Scholastic as the testing tool, we feel Level B students should also receive tierIII services. Honestly any student that does not know all of their letters and sounds by January should be tier III. Who do we need to contact?

Watched video as a team from WVDE Writing assessments.  They are wanting to use Science of Reading to increase literacy and writing. What do we do for writing assessments? Tuesday writing for assessments, weekly sentence assessments on reading test, daily writing prompts, Seesaw sentence writing with spelling,

Writing should be flexible and adaptable to each teacher’s students. A consistent writing assessment should not be a “one size fits all.” Each teacher uses their own judgment based on the WV Standards.

If you want to sign up for Cacapon “tree doctor” lesson, please let Melissa know.

Possible fundraiser – Galaxy Skateland – Johnna to check on this.

Shelly – talk to Melissa about Poor House Farm Park for field trip.

TSSI

Discussed what materials need to be in TSSI folders. Renee went over a folder as an example.

1.      Need TSSI folders for all Tier III students and Tier II students making little to no progress. Must have BCS checklist stapled in the front of the folder; student data summary sheet filled out with:

Scholastic Levels, STAR Math scores – SS, PR, GE; Action plan for reading and math, if applicable, with level, frequency, duration, start date, intervention, and goal. Add plan and comments that may be helpful to remember or for future reference.

2.      Reading – Scholastic Summary sheet from NSGRA; Fall and Winter Running Records, Listening Comprehension, and Developmental Word Knowledge Inventory. Any work samples of reading related to identified remedial areas. If Tier III, Robins will supply teachers with pertinent information. If Tier II student making little to no progress – include Intervention Logs from teacher.

3.      Math – Individual STAR Math scores for the year, any work samples related to identified remedial areas – Chapter tests as an example. If Tier II student making little to no progress – include Intervention Logs from teacher. Also, if student worked with Blue Ridge Tutors include those reports as well.

4. SAT meeting notes or information from SAT, if applicable.

Mrs. Hollen: Strategic Plan Review
Strategic Plan and Eval Academic Goal will be based on iReady assessment.
~77% of our children will perform at grade level on the Spring iReady Assessment.
~Continue to refer any at-risk children through the referral form on the Eagle padlet
~Second counselor is not available but counseling intern to arrive in Spring and a retiree can be paid to provide instruction in the form of counseling lessons to free Mrs. Pill up for small group counseling
~TSS-new Data Summary Sheets that reflect iReady were distributed.  For behaviors, fill out behavior referral/data collection sheets and layer on intense interventions.
Model Schools Program and visit=Tuesday September 12th
Pilot Assessment (K-2 Field Test) is completely voluntary---1st or 2nd grade staff may or may not participate.  Monday October 2-Friday October 20th.

Mrs. Hagley: IEPs---WVEIS 2.0 Directions for Read IEP.
Review of proper filing cabinet procedures-keep cabinet locked.  Read IEPs only in office.  Sign off on IEPs viewing.
Accommodation pages need documented daily to. note the accommodations you provide.

Mrs. Battaglini: UFLI Spelling Assessment:
Words are not being sent home to the parents for kids to memorize.
Test is actually a genuine assessment of decoding ability.
If you look at lesson 9...every single word comes together and its out of 12 points.
This would be the lesson for the day and can be administered whole group or small group.
After assessment is given, record answers--this will help you do standards based grading.

1. Make sure we are documenting tier 2 instructional sessions on student recording sheets. In order for a student to move from tier 2 to 3, they need to have ample sessions recorded for tier 2.

2. If a new student is added to your roster, you need to benchmark on iReady.

3. Tier 2 instruction should be coming from iReady (individualized instructional tools). A handout was provided with instructions on how to access these tools.

4. Instructions are coming for how to turn iReady games off.

5. Note: Time spent on iReady games is not counted in Students' "Time on Task" minutes. (weekly goal : 45 minutes in both math and reading)

1. Suggestion: Require students to have a set number of "Learning Path" minutes before they can access iReady games.

2. I require my students to have 10 minutes of each on Monday, 20 minutes of each on Tuesday, etc. in order to be able to access iReady games. That way they are on track to complete 45 in each by the end of the week.

·      Battaglini presented on iReady growth monitoring reports, finding lesson plans for students, benchmarks, turning off learning games.

·      Benchmarks for iReady are assigned (January and April).

·      Question about kindergarten growth monitoring process – do we (teachers) turn on OR does admin turn this on?  Hagley is finding out if this will be happening at all for K.

·      Garvin asked for suggestions about activities to help lowest kids in small group.

·      Discussed need for interventionist for next year. Brock shared with group about intervention committee meeting and their recommendations that will be presented by Hollen/Heironimus to administrators in central office in December.

·      Hagley talked about Tier 2 documentation sheet – begin sheets by putting dates of service in small groups (this will follow the student as they progress and will help with possible SAT in future).

-Given iReady information: how to find Growth Monitoring Results and how to assign for future (dates listed in email) Teachers will need to assign to students in the future.

-Referred to padlet for Tier 2 paperwork needed to monitor student progress, document interventions, and current data summary sheets.

-Steps were given to find the intervention lessons in iReady to use for tier2/3 instruction. Grouping tool is another great feature to help with using intervention lessons.

-use teacher judgement if you feel students are not identified for tier 2 with iReady, begin documentation anyway.

-How to turn off games was provided by Julie Jones.

Attendance- Melissa Hollen, Heather Hagley, Ashley Battaglini, Tammy Potter, Linda Albright, Lisa Taylor

What does TSS look like in Kindergarten for tier 2 students? The county push is that our instructional aides will be able to pull small groups for intervention by adding extra training for them

Progress monitoring will be called growth monitoring for iready on a monthly basis. December 11th-15th kids will need to be identified then assigned for lower levels to take. After initial time it will log them on automatically for their monthly growth monitoring. No monitoring in May.

"I'm using my iready data in my lessons" there will be a one drive file by subject (vocab, fluency etc) to use as resources for intervention. We can give to aides to use with a small group who have similar weaknesses

iReady data –

·      entered fall numbers into BOY today (red is middle of the road normal, green is high, yellow is lowest)

·      lowest students do not meet minutes, do not stay focused, inattentive, kids are looking at the characters (this cannot be turned off -- distracting)

·      be ready to give reading/math assessments next week beginning Jan. 8.

Discussed conference forms, retention forms, Scholastic, remote learning days

1. Reinforcing expectation that students are completing the weekly iReady minute goal (30-45) for math and reading.

1. Suggestion: implement daily goal to ensure weekly goal is attainable. (i.e., Monday: 10 min for math and reading, Tuesday: 20 min, etc.)

2. Reminder: benchmark testing window begins Monday 1/8.

3. Perhaps it's easier to progress monitor whole class monthly? That just means more data points across the board...which can't be a bad thing.

4. Robinson and Pyne have iReady games turned off. Darr and Kriss left games on but students are managed to ensure instructional minutes are being met before games are allowed.

Attendees: Butler, Cox, Enns, Lyons, Murphy, Snyder, Shank, Palmer

1)Discussion about iReady results and what to use to help those students who are struggling. -monitor struggling students to make sure they are not just clicking. -having our aides sit with certain students- do in small groups. set goals with students individually their first benchmark score to try and motivate them.

2)Student engagement using "Building Thinking Classrooms" strategies to strengthen rigor and high level thinking for math instruction

3)Vocabulary Strategies- shared ways to use vocabulary lessons from the presentation today

4)How is UFLI working for everyone? agreed that it is very effective and seeing a lot of growth. How are you implementing? whole group/small group discussion

*Set up iReady progress monitoring for this week (2/19-2/23).

*Look at iReady data – put in MOY data into the spreadsheet that Battaglini shared with us.

*Data from iReady still doesn’t give us a good snapshot of the students’ abilities because of testing on iPads, attention span/focus, ELL (not all are Spanish speaking), kids do it independently without any help, NOT age appropriate for kindergarten.

*Time is being allotted for students to be in iReady every day; however, there are students who need more one-on-one instruction with the teacher because they are not focused, they are very low, etc.

*Kindergarten Registration – April 25, farm animals, classes make a craft for decorations, same set-up with tables, dress as farmers (look for farm shirts for all 16 of us – we pay for them), 4 subs

Albright – pigs

Brock – goats

Garvin – farmers

Marcel-Rene – sheep

Potter – cows

Spencer – ducks

Taylor – chickens

Triggs – horse

A.M. COVERAGE – Triggs, Potter, Albright, Marcel-Rene

P.M. COVERAGE – Brock, Spencer, Taylor, Garvin

*Working on 3rd 9 weeks report card at this time. ELRS will be done during the 4th 9 weeks.

*Report card packet for testing is being made for next year for all students by report card committee.

*Retentions – Spencer - 1, Brock - 1, Garvin - 3, Taylor – 2, Marcel-Rene – 3, Triggs – 2 or 4

*iReady letters were sent home to students with questionable scores.

Discussion about building school home connection at beginning of the year with UFLI and Secret Stories: Make boxes to keep the decodable readers in and students make index cards of Secret Stories for students to keep and practice.

Safety concerns with special ed pick up in first grade hallway. Too many parents waiting by the door. Could they stay in their cars with tags in the window? Scan barcode at the parking spots

Discussion of students needing to take iReady if they have an IEP??? Told by some people yes and others say no.

Discussed making short videos of phonics and phonemic awareness activities to push out to parents to show them how to help their child at home.
