Classroom Walk-throughs
Throughout the month of December I will be doing walk-throughs in every classroom. I'll spend 10-15 minutes in the class to see the great things that are going on each day. The focus of my walk-throughs this month will be on student engagement. If there's any special project that your students are working on that you'd like me to see, please let me know.
Inclusive Schools Week
This week is Inclusive Schools week as mentioned in last week's newsletter. Our PD on Wednesday will focus on Culturally Responsive Teaching and we will also have a short presentation from Mrs. Etcheverria on the Queer Literacy Framework.
It's not just this week that we should focus on being inclusive, but every day. We live in a diverse state and teach in a diverse school district where all students and families need to feel welcome.
Positive Discipline Workshop for Parents on Friday
If you have parents that would benefit from or would be interested in a Positive Discipline workshop, please have them see our parent facilitator, Ms. Fernandez for more details. The workshop will be held on Friday at 8:30 AM.
Shout Out to Ms. Morgan
Thank you to Ms. Morgan for organizing the first Grinch Day at Jefferson. I saw many of our classrooms partnering with other classes to do some cooperative projects. All students were engaged and learning from each other.
Fancloth Jefferson Gear Second Chance Orders
