Mission Statement• We are the Williams kindergarten team.

We come to school to learn new things. We are getting ready for 1st grade. We will read books everyday so we can learn how to read. We need to be good listeners and careful workers. We will be kind to each other because we are a team!

Bell to Bell Blues by Annie Garretson

You can’t make me I don’t want to I ain’t goin’ anymore

With bell to bell instructionSchool is nothin’ but a chore

All day long there we are focusedOn the objective on the board

Drill and practice to get to proficientTake a test and then it’s scored

My CSAP scores aren’t lookin’

like I’ll make my AYP,Despite the interventions, RTI and LMB.

Doubt that I can manage even one more strategy;Don’t make me go. (Break)

I said, “Mom, I got a problem…Seems that I cannot make the grade,And I’ve been missing my time at recessSince the principal began this crusade.And though I’ve been working up to my potentialThere are goals there I can’t quite reach.”She replied, “Honey, you know I’m so sorry,But you’ve got to go now ‘cause you’ve got to teach!”

You Can Handle Them All activity cards:

• Form groups of four using playing cards• Divide up the stack of 8 YCHMA cards, each person

taking two of interest.• 5 minutes: Of your two cards pick the one that’s most

relevant to you. Read card, take notes, add your own thoughts, give an example of a student you have like this. (If time remains, continue with second card)

• Discuss in your group.• 1. Overview of behavior• 2. What do you feel is the best suggestion to

implement immediately in your room• 3. What NOT to do• 4.Your own experience with a student
