📘✨ Saturday Professional Development — Session #2 ✨📘
Our educators gathered once again this Saturday for our second professional development session focused on the Gradual Release of Responsibility and Explicit Instruction. 🍎💪 We revisited the importance of the “I Do” phase, where teachers clearly model skills and set expectations, and the “We Do” phase, where students practice with guidance and immediate feedback. This session placed a strong emphasis on the “You Do”, ensuring students are truly ready to apply learning independently with confidence and purpose. 🧠📚
Teachers explored how to design meaningful independent practice that aligns to the lesson objective, reflects what was modeled, and provides clear evidence of mastery. We also discussed monitoring student work, providing timely feedback, and using data from the “You Do” to inform next steps in instruction. 📊➡️🎯
We are proud of our staff’s continued commitment to refining instruction , even on a Saturday. Empowering students to work independently is the ultimate goal of effective teaching! 💙🚀

📚✨ Thank You for a Fantastic Literacy Night! ✨📚
We want to give a HUGE thank you to all of our students, families, and staff who joined us for Literacy Night! Your energy, participation, and excitement made the event a true success. It was wonderful to see our school community come together to celebrate the joy of reading and learning.
Throughout the night, families explored hands-on literacy activities designed to strengthen reading skills at home. Here are a few key literacy takeaways we hope you enjoyed:
✔️ Reading aloud builds vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence.
✔️ Word games and hands-on stations help children connect letters, sounds, and meaning.
✔️ Daily reading routines, even 10–15 minutes, make a BIG difference in long-term achievement.
Thank you again for your support and dedication to our students’ growth. We look forward to many more opportunities to learn and grow together! ❤️📖
