 * __ Math RTI- __** I had a conversation with Mrs. Lynch & Mrs. Narrmore yesterday after school concerning RTI Math. They think it would be better if their kids remain the same until they have more number sense. Starting next week remember to place your students who are EXED or really struggling in math in Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Narrmore's group. They will go to them every week until Mrs. Lynch notice that they are ready to go to another group. I also think it would be a good idea to eliminate Mrs. Q. Williams's math rti group because she is so busy. Crystall mentioned giving Q. williams enrichment kids to another second grade teacher, like our Chele.As you know I'm totally open to doing whatever to serve our little friends. Let me know if you think of a better way to do this. Lets pick 1 person from ea. building to be responsible for watching ALL of the students from your building walk to the other building.

01/30/12 2nd Gr. Minutes Lewis’s Room

I’ve talked to the bus company and they informed me that we CAN fill the empty seats with chaperones. This should eliminate those parents that are driving. In the event that a parent still wants to meet us there, you can allow them to pay you $35. The $35 includes everything that they would be allowed to do if they rode on the bus. As a grade level we can take a total of 165 people on the buses. Each bus can accommodate 55 passengers.

As of 1/30/12 Bus 1 Total **__48 passengers__**

Bus 2 Total __**45 passengers**__

Bus 3 Total **__53 passengers__**
