Week of January 22-26, 2024


I enjoyed visiting the shared Jamboard about the video clip shared last week. If you'd like to see what colleagues shared click HERE to review. This week I wanted to share a tool that student's could use to help them during their first or multiple reads of a text. I know the example included on the Self-monitoring checklist is a high level text but I also know I work with amazing educators who can see how adapting this checklist to other texts or using as a tool that students can complete when independently reading can intentionally help our students attend to texts they are reading. Have you used a tool like this before? If so, I would love for you to share strategies or thoughts HERE (go to the second board).

Thank you for trying new WICOR strategies in your rooms and being open to honing your craft. I am continually amazed by the group of professionals I get to work with each day!


See you Monday😀

  • Message from Ms. Parrish:

                Remember, PowerSchool usually goes down around 5pm on Friday and isn't scheduled to
                come back up until late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Some months you may find
                you have access early on Sunday. It is not advised to make any changes or enter any grades
                during this time period. Your changes may not save. Maintenance is still running in the
                 background. Time is precious and we don't want to have to do things twice!
  • Homeroom Teachers: Please review email sent by Ms. Blalock regarding the ESL Access Practice Test.
  • Have you heard about the Parents' Bill of Rights? If not or you want to learn more, HERE is more information.

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!
