[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids are just fulfilling SOL testing at this point anyway, so it’s no like there was going to be any actual learning from here until the end of the year. That probably factored into the teacher’s plans. [/quote]

Just off the top of my head, between now and the end of the SY, I know we have another math unit, a unit on Mali, a science unit about simple machines, a social studies alternative SOL assessment, a health unit, and we need to finish persuasive writing.

What makes me think about retiring early? I need to administer the DRA Progress Monitoring Tool to every student and enter a passing score into RUBI NLT May 27 (we weren’t allowed to start assessing until after the SOL test). I have to administer the DSA spelling assessment and get an updated level for every student. At the same time I’m assessing individual or small groups of students I’m expected to keep the others on task and manage behavior. We have two more mornings of SOL testing plus another two for iReady. Progress Report grades will probably be due around June 3 or 6. I know some people think that goes quickly, but it does take a long time to figure grades and enter them into SIS, especially during the fourth quarter which has double the grades and no workday during which to work on them. I’m sure I’m leaving out many other tasks. I know I have 3 meetings (2 CTs plus one other) the last week of school during our planning period. [/quote]
