  Happy Sunday! Hope all had a great weekend and maybe found a few minutes to read or listen to a good book. Thanks to our reading committee for all that you have done to celebrate the love of reading this month. We're over half way through the month and it has been awesome to see your and our students' creativity and I know this week will bring more of the same. Extra SHOUT OUT to Ms. Mangum and our BOB Team. Looking forward to cheering y'all on the 26th.  Here is the walkthrough information from last week. See you tomorrow!

  It was great getting into some classrooms and seeing the awesome things happening across the campus. Here are two pictures sent to me by Mrs. Hall exploring Close Reading Strategies. Have questions? Please seek her out. We can learn so much from each other by just asking questions. Walkthrough Data for this week: Great job in increasing the rigor of questions presented to students! Keep it up! Attached HERE is a workbook I received last year when I attended a DOK workshop that shows how to scaffold DOK questioning and activities to meet all our students where they are and push them to deeper levels of thinking if you'd like to explore it. I hope everyone has had a great weekend and I look forward to seeing each of you tomorrow! -Angela  Also...great job to Mr. Todd (and Mrs. Coleman) and Ms. McIsaac for doing an awesome job showcasing our talented 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...
