It has been a great, fast week here. I have loved being in classrooms seeing kids learn to decode and read new words. I also spent time with a class analyzing character traits and seeing how they searched for text evidence to support their thinking. It's always fun to be a part of the learning process!
Thank you to all the families who came in for conferences on Thursday night. Hopefully we will see everyone else this Wednesday for our next conference night.
On Tuesday, the teachers worked with our Leader In Me coach to learn how to write Wildly Important Goals with our students. This is a very exciting process. Over the next few weeks all of our students should be making a Wildly Important Goal (WIG) for the progress that they hope to make in writing. We are going to be working with all the students on writing to demonstrate learning. So, we will really be focusing on the ability to communicate their thinking and to justify their answers. We believe all the students will make growth in this area and we are excited to see how far they will go!
I hope everyone is able to attend the PTA Fall Festival tonight. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. I'm especially excited by the chili cook-off. Good luck to all the participants!
Have a fun, safe weekend!
