OCTOBER IS DYSLEXIA AWARENESS MONTH
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning disability in reading. People with dyslexia have trouble reading at a good pace and without mistakes. They may also have a hard time with reading comprehension, spelling, and writing. But these challenges aren’t a problem with intelligence.
Children and adults with dyslexia struggle to read fluently, spell words correctly, and memorize rote facts such as multiplication tables, among other challenges. But these difficulties have no connection to their overall intelligence. While people with dyslexia can be slow readers, they often, paradoxically, are very fast and creative thinkers with strong reasoning abilities.
Dyslexia can’t be “cured” – it is lifelong. But with appropriate instruction, an individual with dyslexia can learn to read, write, and spell and can become a highly successful individual.

Each week in October, we will feature a message about dyslexia in this newsletter. If you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s learning, please contact the school principal and/or literacy specialist. Another great parent resource would be to contact your school’s Special Education Advisory Committee representative.

Dear Palisades Families,
This month we are talking about Responsibility.
One way to define Responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.”
Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Positive and responsible actions can help people and irresponsible actions can hurt others.
Responsibility is one of the three traits we will focus on throughout the year that encourages students to “Be Strong”. Throughout our school, Palisades students will be developing skills like focusing, organizing, and goal-setting.
Have some fun connecting as a family this month while practicing Responsibility. Here are three “PurposeFull Pursuits” for you to complete together. How many can you do this month?
Pursuit #1: As a family, think of ways in which you might make someone’s life a little easier by helping a neighbor or family friend with one of their responsibilities. Could you help someone with their garbage or recycling? Could you carry things in from the grocery store? Could you invite someone over for a meal or a show?
Pursuit #2: Review Responsibility as a family! Responsibility is taking action and understanding how our choices affect others. Choose one household chore (or more!) that requires multiple steps. Then have each member of the family select one step to complete to help get the job done. Maybe it is washing the dishes, doing laundry, cleaning the living room, or unloading the groceries. Whatever it is, see who can be the quickest or most effective at their task.
Pursuit #3: Family meeting story prompts
● A time I (or someone else) showed responsibility was _____.
● An act of responsibility that changed/challenged me was _____.

Estimadas familias de Palisades,
Este mes estamos hablando de Responsabilidad.
Una forma de definir la responsabilidad es "tomar medidas y comprender el impacto de nuestras elecciones".
Tomar acción puede significar hacer lo correcto o completar las tareas que le han sido asignadas. Comprender el impacto de nuestras elecciones significa que nuestras acciones importan. Las acciones positivas y responsables pueden ayudar a las personas y las acciones irresponsables pueden dañar a otros.
La responsabilidad es uno de los tres rasgos en los que nos centraremos durante todo el año que anima a los estudiantes a "Ser fuertes". En toda nuestra escuela, los estudiantes de Palisades desarrollarán habilidades como concentrarse, organizarse y establecer metas.
Diviértanse conectando en familia este mes mientras practican la Responsabilidad. Aquí hay tres "actividades completas con propósito" para que completen juntos. ¿Cuántas puedes hacer este mes?
Actividad n.° 1: Como familia, piensen en maneras en las que podrían hacer la vida de alguien un poco más fácil al ayudar a un vecino o amigo de la familia con una de sus responsabilidades. ¿Podrías ayudar a alguien con su basura o reciclaje? ¿Podrías traer cosas de la tienda de comestibles? ¿Podrías invitar a alguien a una comida oa un espectáculo?
Actividad n.° 2: ¡Repasar la responsabilidad en familia! La responsabilidad es actuar y comprender cómo nuestras elecciones afectan a los demás. Elija una tarea doméstica (¡o más!) que requiera varios pasos. Luego, pídale a cada miembro de la familia que seleccione un paso para completar para ayudar a realizar el trabajo. Tal vez sea lavar los platos, lavar la ropa, limpiar la sala de estar o descargar las compras. Sea lo que sea, vea quién puede ser el más rápido o el más efectivo en su tarea.
Persecución n.º 3: Indicaciones de la historia de la reunión familiar
● Una vez que yo (u otra persona) mostré responsabilidad fue _____.
● Un acto de responsabilidad que me cambió/desafió fue _____.
Gracias por la asociación y el apoyo de nuestro aprendizaje socioemocional. No dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo si tiene alguna pregunta. Me pueden contactar en olsenw@loswego.k12.or.us o 503-534-2345.
Be Well,
