Action Team Meetings:  Our amazing Action Teams will meet on Monday, October 17th at 2:45pm (or as soon as possible).  Action Team chairs, please make sure to create the agenda and share the minutes. I am so impressed at the great ideas and projects coming out of these committees.  

Lighthouse Meeting:  The Lighthouse Team will meet on Tuesday, October 18th at 3:15pm in the front conference room.  

Time:  In order to afford our grade level teams more time to plan using the new Wonders reading series and discuss instruction using the "Next Steps of Guided Reading" in K-1st, Wendy and I will be meeting with grade levels in PLCs afterschool every other week for kid talks, data discussions, PD, etc.  Teams can use the alternating weeks to dig into team planning using the new series and guided reading materials.  Our hope is that teams can leave the session with plans and common assessment that will save individuals from writing plans alone.  Happy synergizing.  #findingawinwin.  

ACTION NEEDED...SIT plan:  Thanks for all who reviewed and approved the SIT plan. We know you are busy.  If you have not yet reviewed, please do so.  We want make sure this plan represents our entire school's priorities.  We want to continue to make Bullock an excellent place to work and learn.

New TA:  I am pleased to announce that Sarah Swindell will be joining us on Monday as a new kindergarten TA.  Sarah is a graduate of NC State and has experience working with students through her work as a director at the Boys and Girls club.  We are excited she'll be joining the Bullock family.  She will be working with Ms. Asper in kindergarten.  

Science class:  We will continue to divide classes on Science day from October 17-21 as we transition Ashley into the science position. Science class will resume on October 24th.  WooHoo!  Thanks for you patience and flexibility.   Thank you also to our dynamic Habit 7 team who are taking the 6th class each period to protect planning time.
