TKES Mid-Year Conference ScheduleGifted Testing ScheduleFrom Dr. D I will be conducting Gifted Testing Orientation Sessions this week. The allotted window will be from 8:30-10:30 each day. Please note that all gifted push-in support that occur during this time will be cancelled. However, all gifted pull-out support that take place after 11:00, will still take place. Please adhere to the orientation schedule below. I will come to get the students 5 minutes before so that we can utilize the full 30 minutes. Also, please place on your calendar that the window for the first assessment, TTCT, will take place the week of February 7-11th. The days will be the same, however, the time will reflect one hour. SEL Book of the MonthNext week is the first week of February and we have a new book, Change Sings by African American Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, who gave the inaugural poem that elevated hearts with home and healing. This month we honor her achievements and read her book Change Sings: A Children’s Anthem. The words and illustrations remind us to be the change we want to see in the world. This fits perfectly with our SEL competency of Responsible Decision-Making and the Theme of Problem-Solving. Here is the direct link to next week’s lessons. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hdaUu51KnbnhkpC5YI5pxu4UwU5ZANBQSfqq2T-RTas/edit?usp=sharing IB Profile for FebruaryBelow is the IB Attribute of the Month, the Approaches to Learning and this month's SEL Book of the Month for FEBRUARY.
We encourage you to continue to align these two programs with the work that you're doing here at Parkside. Thanks for ALL that you do! Have a great rest of your Sunday😊 ATTRIBUTE OF THE MONTH: BALANCED I can create a healthy lifestyle through balancing academic, social, emotional, and physical choices. APPROACHES TO LEARNING: Thinking Skills Reflection/metacognitive skills (reconsidering the process of learning). SEL BOOK OF THE MONTH: Change Sings Author: Amanda Gorman Illustrator: Loren Long I can hear change humming In its loudest, proudest song. I don't fear change coming, And so I sing along." In this stirring, much-anticipated picture book by presidential inaugural poet and activist Amanda Gorman, anything is possible when our voices join together. As a young girl leads a cast of characters on a musical journey, they learn that they have the power to make changes—big or small—in the world, in their communities, and in most importantly, in themselves. With lyrical text and rhythmic illustrations that build to a dazzling crescendo by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long, Change Sings is a triumphant call to action for everyone to use their abilities to make a difference.

Literacy InformationAdd link to the Literacy Center Smores - https://www.smore.com/6tqu9 NEW IB Planners start Monday 1/10This is just a friendly reminder that all IB planners are set to be implemented on Monday, January 10th. Please take a moment to look over them with your team and make any adjustments, as needed. I will send additional slides to support incorporating the learner profile attribute into your daily routines by tomorrow morning. Also, the first week of the planners is all about provocation. So, think about the activities your team has planned that will get the students excited and engaged resulting in the students sharing their own beliefs and ideas about the unit. Please make sure to capture those responses on your planners or wonder walls. PTA and Air PurifiersIn light of returning on Monday I wanted to update and clarify some things regarding the air purifiers. It will be super important to use them in light of the very contagious Omicron variant.
1. All of the purifiers that were placed in classrooms last March have NEW filters and have been reset to count back 2,500 hours which is when they need to be replaced. All of the purifiers delivered to rooms September/October should have close to 2000 hours left. 2. PLEASE turn ON your purifier every day and use the 8 hour timer or turn it OFF when you leave for the day. Several units were running when I went in to change the filters. We simply just don’t have funds to continue to replace them more often than we have to. 3. To actually get the benefits of the purifiers they need to be as close to the middle of the room as possible and ideally on a higher surface. Try not to run them against a wall or under a desk. If you purchased your own purifier, we will reimburse you for new filters. And if you need help to change them out I am happy to come in after students are gone to do that. ***I know you all have lots on your plate so please reach out if you need any assistance with this. I can come in and find a good place to put the units, make sure timers are set etc. *** Thank you all for continuing to show up and taking such great care of our kids. We appreciate you all so much! -Clare Gordon(Isabel Finnegan’s mom) |
