Thank you for a wonderful first week back from break. It has been FUN being in so many classrooms completing your final walkthroughs. What fun the March Madness cereal challenge has been, too. THANK YOU, Linda for your hard work and communication. I'm off tomorrow, so please reach out to Kat or Angel if you need anything.
DID YOU KNOW:
- Kindergarten enrollment began last week? If you have FamiLEEs with siblings that will be kindergarteners next year, please share this information.
- we need all classroom designers to check learner bus tags on backpacks? If you cannot see/read their bus number anymore, please re-write it with sharpie. If it has fallen off, please add another one.
- (as mentioned in staff meeting and email from Angela) if you get emails of a concerning nature from a previous learner, please make sure to cc the middle school counselor and request the learner contact his school counselor? Thank you for your cooperation.
- that it is time to review your Respect Agreements and technology expectations with our classes for the 4th 9 weeks? This final nine weeks is not the time to loosen the reigns.

COACH'S CORNER
🔦District Resource Spotlight
RAZ-Plus Resources you should check out!
Each phonics pack provides multi-day instruction on a specific phonetic element for students who have not yet mastered word-attack skills. Instruction focuses on sound-symbol relationships in a predetermined sequence that allows students to build on previous knowledge to develop critical decoding skills through word blending, segmenting, and manipulation. Each pack includes a lesson plan, picture cards, letter cards, sound/letter mats, and practice sheets.
Comprehension Skill Packs (Interactive)
Give students direct and explicit instruction on key comprehension skills with Comprehension Skill Packs. Each lesson plan follows the teach, practice, and apply instructional approach to support students as they build meaning from texts.
Promote higher-order thinking, such as making comparisons among texts, with Paired Books, which features three types of pairings: fiction-nonfiction, fiction-fiction, and nonfiction-nonfiction. Students first answer text-dependent questions about each text separately, and then about both texts combined. Answers to these questions guide student response to an overall key question. Each lesson has a graphic organizer used to record information related to each question set. Students cite evidence in support of an answer.
💎Classroom Tech Treasures
This Canva presentation is a ready-to-go activity for you, and you can modify the template to suit your needs. Each slide has four options, and the participant decides which doesn’t belong. There isn’t just one correct answer for most, and it’s interesting to hear what object students pick and why. Have your students give their reason and participate in the lively discussions!Which One Does Not Belong?
