“Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.”

Picture Day Schedule:
Here is the link to the picture day schedule. Please let us know if for any reason you need to switch times. Also, you will want each student to carry their picture money to the gym or bring as a class. Thank you in advance!
Parent Teacher Conferences:
Please be sure to schedule a conference with ALL of your families. We will have you share your schedules later.
Debating About Reading:
After observing in several classrooms this week, I noticed a common theme that a lot of you were talking about how to debate about reading. I realized that this is really about providing evidence from the book to support one's thinking.
In addition, you may want to read this article: The Instructor's Challenge: Moving Students beyond Opinions to Critical Thinking. It talks about how to be a critical thinker and the complex process involved in moving beyond one's own personal opinions. This becomes especially important as we teach our students to really engage in critical reflection and evaluation of one's reading.
Random Things to Think About:
- Get your attendance in to SIS 1st thing in the morning.
- Dip n Dots-on Thurs. If we don't have school or lunch on Friday, we will not have Dip n Dots for that week.
- Please pick up those kiddos up on time. It makes a mess for someone else when you are late.
Thank you for being such a growth minded staff! You remind me of the many butterflies that are bursting out of their chrysalises here at Concord. You are constantly reflecting and pushing forward-Friday was a perfect example of this with all of the new learning that took place.
