WEEK 13 Friday Focus @ Outlook

From Administration:  It has been great to see the increased use of the high yield strategies that have been the focus of our CWTs. Your setting objectives and providing feedback as well as reinforcing effort-as students work -has been noted at all grade levels with increased frequency:) Some teachers have also added the Why? response immediately following their posted objective to help students articulate the "purpose" of their learning:)
Keep up the great work!

Coaches Corner: Graphic Organizers, Graphic Organizers, Graphic Organizers.  As I have been visiting the OSPI website, graphic organizers are a must for our students.  I have been looking through many folders, binders, and “stacks” to find some relevant ones for us to use during reading.  

Andrea also found a great website http://www.washingtonco.k12.nc.us/siteimages/images/uploads/Graphic%20Organizers%20for%20Reading.pdf . 

I hope to share some ideas for graphic organizers during our Reading Collab day on Tuesday, December 7^th.  Please send me an email if you would like to take a look at what I have prior to this date.
