Phase II Math COS Training
December 14 but the location has not yet been determined.
Place on hold the dates we have reserved. I don't think we can facilitate Phase II like we did Phase I. Phase II will be grade specific. I think we will have to offer session this summer, no stipend, and open to all teachers in the JSU InService Area. Hold the days we have reserved. I am sent an email with the Phase I confirmed schedule.
Math 2010 COS website to share with teachers
Click the Professional development tab on the left side and then click Inside Mathematics
Or click the Standards tab on the left and then click Illustrative Math website and then click on the links on the left.
All of this is a work in progress, but there are some great, free resources out there and more coming.
Anniston City
Anniston Middle has requested Sue and Melanie's help on any day you have that you can fit them in.
Science
Polly could you please visit CE Hanna and work with the 5th grade science teachers before yall leave OES? They need help with Fill in the Holes lessons and had questions concerning the objectives in 5th grade that dealt with the human body systems. I know we have a 3rd grade kit but they were asking about some objectives in 5th grade. I took them solar lights so they can use their Solar Energy kit since it has rained for a week. They are struggling with their planning. They are willing to adjust their pacing guide so that any objective that is not in the correct 9 weeks to match a kit then they will move it.
Math
When you are at Oxford E, they have some questions concerning computational fluency. I told Ms. Goodwin that through ACHE, we had a workshop on that and our specialists can provide a PD on computation fluency. So maybe that could be a focus while at OES. And Fractions!
I observed a math lesson
I observed a math lesson at Saks E. I would love to observe some K-5 science lessons and some 6-8 science an 6-12 math lessons. Each week if you would provide me with a list of lessons and times, I promise to come observe a lesson. I want to make it to every school and hopefully get the principal to observe with me. That didn't happen today but I have 4 more chances. I know I have missed DeArmanville, Cedar Bluff and Attalla E but my goal is to make it to the remaining schools. If I can get a schedule each week then I will plug a lesson into my calendar. I may not make one a week but I hope to at least make 3 for each K-5 school. And if Sue and Melanie can provide me with a time they are teaching, I will visit their schools too.

AMSTI phone numbers
I have placed an update list of AMSTI phone numbers on your desk.

I will have your In Case of Emergency phone numbers to you after Thanksgiving.
Housekeeping
I need a volunteer (Cherrie) to help label the drawers and shelves in the workroom and vault so we do not spend time hunting for things. And on that note, once it is all labeld, please do not "rearrange" anything. Lynn can keep our supplies order and make sure we have an ample supply of everything only if we know where everything is located.
Please remember to submit PLT logs to me and Kay. This includes the your Specialists PLT (if the log is on the G drive just let me know when it is posted) and the PLT groups that are meeting with other specialists.
If I do not see some of you on Monday, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I am thankful for a GREAT bunch of people to work with. We are fortunate. All of our people are quality people, hard working people and just good people. Thank you for your time and dedication to the work we have been commissioned to carry out. Safe travels for those traveling. Happy Thanksgiving!
