Week of January 29-February 2, 2024

     This week will conclude our focus on the First Read/Close Read/Multiple Read WICOR strategy. It has been exciting to read the thoughts of those who have shared about new learning regarding this topic. To close out this month, I wanted to share a link to anchor charts that you could create and use in the classroom to remind your students and yourself about the importance of close reads and multiple reads. I hope you enjoy exploring the site and maybe even creating an anchor chart or two to use in your rooms. Thanks for all you continue to do for our students.

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!
