Week of September 4-8, 2023

 


One week down and 35 weeks of instruction ahead! Thank you to each of you for all you did to make the best out of hard situations this week as we adjusted to the "new". I saw moments each day last week that confirmed that we have exactly what we need to meet the high academic and social emotional goals we have set for the year. I thought the quote above was appropriate because throughout the year we will have moments where we have accomplished a goal and are ready to celebrate but something new, different, or something we felt we were past will come back and remind us there is still work to do. That's where perseverance comes into play. Together we can accomplish BIG THINGS and SHINE BRIGHT this year. When one of us gets tired and needs to step away, someone come and tag in and take on the current short race so our colleague can rest up for the next. This can only be done with communication so find your safe places and let people know how they can support you. 35 more short races are all we have and I know by working together, combining our gifts, and keeping our students at the center of decision making we will win not only the race of perseverance but more importantly we will win the race of empowering all of our students to:

D - Dream Big

R - Reach Goals

E - Explore Opportunities and

S - Succeed in a Global Society.


Looking forward to another amazing week!    - Angela

Reminders
  • If leaving campus during the day or early at the end of the day, please make sure administration is aware. If you know about this in advance, PLEASE EMAIL Dr. Hill. I will not remember everything you tell me and although I write info on my hands with Sharpie that doesn't always keep me well informed. This is for certified and classified staff and even if you will not need coverage you still will need to let administration know. Thanks!

As many of you know, at Dixon Road ES we will be celebrating the love of reading all month for Read Across America. I am excited to have time to celebrate authors, books, and hopefully ignite a love of reading in some students who don't have it already. HERE you will find events planned for the month. It is the expectation that at least twice this month you meet with your buddy class to read. The list of buddy classes can be found on the calendar in the notes section at the bottom. I am also sharing the Staff Favorite Books Slideshow that you can share with your students anytime this month and will beg Ms. Tina to have it up in the office a few days this month. The link is under instructional resources on the dashboard and linked at the top of the Read Across America Calendar. A few updates: 1. We will not have a WICOR Reading strategy focus this month but will have a show and tell section in each blog where pictures of WICOR strategies in practice will be shared. Doing something...

  This week, I wanted to share a quick video that illustrates the GIST Strategy that can be found on the walkthrough tool under Reading Strategies. To hep students get the gist (get it...gist) of the strategy you could do as a class a few times and then after some time and with scaffolding as needed you can gradually release it to students to complete it independently. Also, please know that I placed the  WICOR Playbook on our dashboard under Instructional /Digital Resources for your convenience. Please let me know any strategies you'd like to know more about and I can feature here! Hope you have a great weekend and please take time to fill your cup. You're no good to anyone else if your cup isn't full. See you Monday!
