January Classroom Refresh!

Welcome Back!  I hope the time off was delightful, filled with rest, relaxing, and fun with family and friends.  By December 20th, it was very clear that we all needed a little break!!

As we begin the new year, it's a great time to review and refresh things in the classroom.  This might include a classroom routine reminder, a PBIS Booster, or a revisit of classroom instruction.

To continue to support the high impact of guided reading, the district will be providing additional training with Carolyn Gwinn on the dates below:

January 22

K - am (8-11:30)

3rd - pm (12:30 - 4)

January 28

1st  - am  (8-11:30)

4th - pm  (12:30 - 4)

January 30

2nd - am  (8-11:30)

5th - pm  (12:30 - 4)

All training will be at River Crest. 

In addition, a reminder that Lori is ready to support your continued work in Guided Reading, for anyone that teaches reading.  To support the action step  for our SMART Goal (implementation of Jan Richardson guided reading), Lori is available to plan, co-teach, observe, and reflect on guided reading delivery in your classroom.  She is here on Mondays and Fridays, and doesn't need to partner with you on the same group or part of the lesson plan each time.  Think about the parts of the lesson plan and new resources where you'd like to collaborate - our goal is to have everyone participate in coaching before Carolyn returns for her training.

Here's to a great new year!!
