Additional Comments
3/3/22- Sarah you and your class did a great job working together and orderly on the stage and I saw a lot of independent work and learning happening. I think that classroom management could use a boost, bell ringer to
get them going when they enter the classroom, a signal to get the students attention, waiting till they are ready before you speak will help with overall structure. I would also ask that you make sure that your aspire and
canvas match as that is the school expectation and be inportant with end of term 3 so close. I would like you to work with Suzanne as we approach Term 4 to have some Classroom management structures in place
