Crown Point Junior Music Academy
Monday Morning Memo
2/5/18 - 2/9/18
As I have been walking through classrooms, I have been reviewing the Critical Concepts and observing strong instruction in the areas of opinion and argument writing. This writing involves critical thinking and is truly engaging to the students. I appreciate your diligent planning utilizing the Critical Concepts and having your students highly engaged in high DOK leveled tasks.

Instructional Focus
As I observe and give feedback, I will continue to refer to your weekly general calendar, so please ensure that it is updated. I will also be referring to the Critical Concepts and the Proficiency Scales and look for the attributes in the instruction and the tasks you set up during your lessons. Like I often say to students, "I will be coming in watching what students are doing." referring to the engagement level in any lesson or assigned task.
School Tours
Every Tuesday Cathy and I will be hosting open house walk-throughs of your classrooms with potential parents of Crown Point. Please be aware that this is their first impression of our school and I look forward to showing off our amazing students and staff. Tours are from 1:15-1:45.

Cultural Performances
Starting February 22nd @ 2:10 pm in the auditorium, we will be having cultural performances for the entire community, parents and students. We will start advertising on Monday. The first event will showcase Japanese Gen bu drums, South Korean Taekwondo, Filipino stick dance, and a Taiwanese dragon dance. It should be approximately 1 hour long. I hope that you can support us by being in the audience as these great cultures showcase their cultural talents. We hope to have 2-3 more before the end of the year including a culminating multicultural celebration school wide.
In addition we will be having a Kenyan cultural ambassador and Masai Warrior come to our school to promote a water fundraiser for his village as he shares his culture, music and songs with us.
