Title I & CCSS

Parent Information Night

What is Title I

• • • Federal money to support students who qualify for free/reduced lunch Currently LE has approximately 76% of our student population qualify for free/reduced lunch program. Money spent is to supplement the District’s core curriculum and to provide interventions for struggling students.

How Lemoore Elementary spends Title I money

• • Learning Coordinator Grade level supplemental materials.

– Professional development (teacher training) – Common Core ELA and Math resources – Weekly Reader – Technology

Title I Committees

• • School Site Council: Advisory committee that gives input to the school site plan and budgetary decisions. English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC): for parents of English learners to advise on programs and services.

Common Core State Standards

Why does this matter? Because it ’ s what our students need For every 100 ninth graders… 65 graduate from high school 37 enter college 24 are still enrolled in sophomore year 12 graduate with a degree in six years

… and only 6 get a good job after graduation

New Standards

Common Core Standards

• • • Starting this year all students, Kindergarten through 8 th grade, will learn the Common Core State standards in math and ELA. California adopted the standards in August of 2010.

The Next Generation Science Standards are in the process of being adopted

Common Core Standards

General Information

• • • • The standards will emphasize a balance of non fiction and fiction reading, research, writing, mathematical reasoning, geometry, and number sense.

In 2013-14 the first assessment was be given by computer to 3 rd – 11 th grade students. The scores did not “count”.

In 2014-2015 schools will receive results from the testing.

Testing is conducted by SBAC – Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.

Some questions to ask your child

Did you talk about anything you read in class today? Did you use evidence when you talk about what you read? Tell me something you learned in your reading. How did you learn it? Did you learn any new words in class today? What do they mean? How do you spell them? How did you use math today? Can you show me an example? What math problems did you do today? How did you get your answer?

Chex Mix Ratios

The Task

Trail mix can be a healthy, delicious snack. You have agreed to make Chex Trail Mix for a class party. Your task is to look at the recipe and modify the recipe for the number of people in your group. How much of each ingredient do you need to feed your group? (You do not want to have any extra.) The Chex Trail Mix is so popular that your friends have asked you to make it for their parties. Adjust each ingredient for so that your recipe serves 20people, 40people, and 104people.

Follow-Up Questions

How much of each ingredient will you need if you go into the pantry and you only have 4 tablespoons of Chex cereal? (Look for evidence of MP1 and MP6.) Your class has decided that they love chocolate. They have decided that 50% of the mix should be mini M & M’s. How much of each ingredient will you need? (Look for evidence of MP1 and MP6.) How much will it cost to make the original recipe if each item costs the following: Chex cereal $3.95 per box Honey Nut Cheerio’s are $5.95 per box Cheez-Its are $3.99 per box Mini M &M’s are $2.95 a pound Coconut is $2.59 per 8 Tablespoons (These may not be the actual price of each item at the grocery store) (Look for evidence of MP1 and MP6.)
