Oak+Grove+Elementary


 * This year at Oak Grove has brought new challenges and new opportunities. One of the projects that I am most proud of is being able to collaborate and team teach with Jenny Johnson, a second grade teacher here at Oak Grove. We planned and team taught a writer's workshop unit of study on Chris Van Allsburg in the Fall. Below you will see of of the moviemaker projects from one of her wonderful writers. Once students created their stories in Moviemaker, we burned a copy of a DVD for each of them to share with parents at our author's tea and take home.**




 * One professional role is to lead/organize staff development related to our School Improvement Plan.**


 * We have worked diligently to ensure that differentiated staff development is provided throughout the year.**




 * Another important role is being part of the DATA TEAM. This team includes our administrative team as well as curriculum support.**




 * Being a part of monthly grade level meetings allows me to stay informed with grade level needs, concerns and curriculum. I am also part of the 2nd grade PLT this year.**


 * A major initiative that has be implemented at Oak Grove over the past two year is "The Daily 5". I have been a part of creating zoomerang surveys so that teachers could conduct literacy walkthroughs to observe the positive effects of "The Daily 5" structure.**


 * Being a tech. contact requires inputting heat tickets in the online system for hardware/software issues. It also hold the responsibility of maintaining our website renewal subscriptions which is renewed by our PTA or through school funds by Ms. Jarman.**


 * This year was the pilot year for CASE21 Assessments. I created updates and schedules for testing along with Ms. Michot's expertise on accommodations for select students.**
