Fall into Jeans!

What a great week of learning!  To K-3rd grade, thank you for your professionalism as Kendra shared a refresh of Year 1 & Year 2!  You can find the complete presentation on Stinger University & linked here.  To 4th-5th grade, we are excited to begin this journey with you planned to meet the specific needs of skilled readers.


FALL INTO JEANS

SOR COACHING CYCLE 1 FOLLOW-UP PLC, 9/19

Kendra will be back on campus on Tuesday for follow-up to our first SOR coaching week.  The agenda for each grade level was emailed yesterday afternoon.


4TH-5TH GRADE PLC, 9/19

4th Grade:  Sara will lead a follow-up on POSSUM, the oral language/vocabulary strategy shared by Nik.

5th Grade:  Nik will be on campus to lead his first SOR PD cycle with you!


STAFF LEAVE, 9/21-9/22

We will have MANY subs in the building on 9/21 & 9/22 for required district trainings, team extended planning time, and other pre-arranged staff absences.  Please be mindful of this should something come up for you next week.  It will be difficult to ensure absences not already reported to admin can be covered.


MEDIA VISIT, 9/21

We may have media visiting the building from 8:30-11:00 next Thursday.  They would only be in Reading Specialist spaces, but wanted everyone to be aware there might be additional people on campus.  All media will be required to sign-in at the front office.


BOYS SCOUTS BUZZ UP! 10/2

The Boy Scouts will host a recruiting event at WS on 10/2.  This will include a VERY brief in classroom visit to share more with students.  We tried hard not to interrupt your reading time!  Please see the schedule below.
