The Chuck
February 15- February 19, 2016
LOVE OUR WOODCHUCKS!!
Just a quick THANK YOU for all the time and care you all take everyday to make sure our Woodchucks feel loved and safe! With the early dismissals lately, you have taken the time to make sure your families were in the know and that were dismissed safely. The domino effect of your efforts helps the office staff get home at a safe time on these snowy days, too. We appreciate your efforts everyday, but especially on busy days when our normal schedule is interrupted. Thank you for being cognizant of students' needs everyday!!

Friday Focus for February 12th
Teaching & Learning Framework
Woodstock teachers living the life with the VBCPS framework.
Consider how you are aligning instruction during math and language arts.
How are you using ACADEMIC VOCABULARY during small group instruction? How are students connecting academic vocabulary and what they are learning to the LEARNING TARGETs presented?? What is their META-COGNITION?? Are you thinking about student learning outcomes when you write a learning target or just checking the box??
Be reflective on that one!
Learning targets describe exactly what we want students to learn. The clarity of learning intentions is at the heart of formative assessment.
-John Hattie
Has the Learning Target Been Met??
I can explain which candidate is currently leading the election and the points system of the electoral college.
