Happy Friday!

Another great week at McKinley! 

How to Overcome Learned Helplessness:

One of the things we need to continue to focus on is creating rigorous opportunities where our students participate in deep thinking, learning, and productive struggle.  One of the strategies to help support students' learning is to avoid learned helplessness (in all aspects of a students' day).   Please take 2 minutes to read the linked article:  https://www.k12dive.com/news/helping-students-overcome-learned-helplessness-special-education/742588/

Check in on Vocabulary:

One of our big rocks this month has been around vocabulary.  At the end of our Staff Power Hour, we did a Call to Action around vocabulary.  How is that going?  What shifts have you made?   Dont' forget to check in with your accoutability partner before spring break.  

Personal Appliances & Furniture - coming soon:

Coming soon, you will receive an email from Bob Olson regarding items (in your classroom and work spaces) that are from home.  This includes fridges, lamps, microwaves, chairs, etc.  Because of safety codes and energy use, these items need to be taken home.  If a student were to get hurt on furniture (not purchased from the District), you could be responsible as the item is your personal item.  And, appliances are increasing our energy use.  More is coming - however, take some time to start removing these items before spring break.  If you have questions, I'm happy to connect.

My deep profound thoughts for you today....

(In case many of you are not old like me, Google Wilson Phillips....)

Pot of Positivity - Today is your last day! 

Last day to get a shamrock in for your acts of positivity!  Spread that positive energy!  

Drawing will be Monday at 2:45pm in the library!  You do NOT need to be present to win!   

Blog Winner!

Last week, there was a hidden message in the bottom of the blog that said to email me if you had read that far.  We had many people enter - linked below is a drawing for the person who won either a lunch or 30 min prep.  Click here to watch the drawing -  Video

Inclusive Schools Week - next Week!

Next week, we celebrate Inclusive Schools Week!  Each day, we will celebrate with a different dress up theme.  Please share with your students and families.   Thanks to Lynn Jensen for organizing the above dress days!  

Next Friday, March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day.  Join me in wearing colorful, bold, or mismatcheed socks on this day.  Linked is a website which provides resources for teachers if you'd like to do something with your classroom.  

Small Group & Leveled Texts - the "Myth":

As we are doing our amazing Science of Reading learning work, the idea of small group and leveled readers has come up.  It will continue to come up as you move into the comprehension module, too.  Even outside of this work, I am hearing about how leveled readers and small groups are not beneficial in a literacy block.  I want to clarify, as I've been struggling with this one - leveled readers are the concern, not small group instruction.  The basic concerns with leveling readers comes down to the fidelity of the leveling (it's hard to find exactly where a student is due to the word choice, complexity, and themes in a story), as well as the idea we never get them into grade level text.  This was a big a-ha to me.  When we only program at their level, they never experience challenging, complex text.  That creates a gap that is almost impossible to close after 4th grade.  

I put this in the blog to remind you that we have an opportunity to make great impact with our MTSS/small group time for students left in your classroom.  This is a great time to reteach a skill, pull kids to challenge them in text, or just confer with readers.   This is the prime time to provide differentiation, which will always have a great impact on learning.  Differentiaton is powerful.

School Social Worker Week:

This week is School Social Worker Week!  Thank you to Annette for all the love, knowledge, and advocacy she brings to our building.   Annette is an amazing school social worker and we are so thankful for her every day! 

No Excuses Mentality:

I'm going to be vulnerable with you in this post.  I have followed Eric Jensen for years - and was reminded of this quote a few days ago.    Full transparency, it was the reminder I needed at this time of year.  I'm not sure if it's the time of year, that it's February, or what the reason... I have fallen into the blame game.   And, I don't think I'm alone.  This is the time of year that gets hard.  I'm fully acknowledging - and admitting - my patience and "fuse" are short. 

This quote reminded me that I play a role in this, too.  And, that's sometimes a hard pill to swallow.  As much as a student plays a role in their learning, we do too.   If they isn't being successful in the environment, some of that falls on them.... and some falls on us.  

I put this quote in the blog to remind us of our mindset.  We have impact and we get to decide what that impact is.  I'm going to re-focus on my mindset around the "no excuses" mindset.  I have impact and I'm deciding that impact will be positive and purposeful.  (If you have read this far, please email Justin to be entered for a drawing)

Happy Friday, McKinley!

Just a reminder of today's bowling plan.  Hope you have a great time bowling!

All in the Hall:

Just a friendly reminder about morning arrival.  We have an "all in the hall" mindset that we've used for years.  When arrival time comes, all staff are in the hallway greeting students as they come in.  Please be mindful of this.  I understand that this is a time to talk to each other, as well.  However, our biggest priority is that welcome committee ensuring that students are greeted with a friendly smile.    For reference, here is some background and possible ways to greet students.  

Cause I Ain't Got A Pencil...
I've shared this in the past - a great reminder for us all.  Every time I read this, I am reminded to listen to our students to empathize and understand each of their lives.  We often assume - and use our biases - to determine what we think students should do.  However, when we really listen, we find out that there is more to the "story" than we are observing.  This always leaves me thinking - is this really an issue in the big picture of things?

You're Invited - Staycation!

Toot Your Horn Thursday:

We had no receipents yesterday.  I know there are a ton of amaizng people in this building doing great things. Please take a minute to nominate someone for this honor!

Hearing more voices, preparing for conferences, and checking in with families! Guest Blogger Eric Oppegard

Every day, we have the opportunity to hear from our students about how they feel school is going for them. But is that how they really feel? What are they telling their families? How do their families feel? How can we make sure all voices are heard?  

A few years ago, I started sending out a brief survey to gather information before conferences to help me prepare. I was hoping it would prevent me from being blindsided by a comment or question from a family member at conferences, and this gave me time to think about my response. I realize this was more self-motived to avoid something. It is often easier to type/write something than actually say it.   As it turned out, it opened my eyes to really hearing from families.  As time passed, the survey transformed into hearing each family's perspective and gaining insight into their student’s education.  

For the fall survey, I used the following questions:

1.  Names of people attending the conference.  I realize this might change, but this gives me an idea of how many people will be here.  

2. Overall, how is your student feeling about the school year so far? This data is collected on a linear scale, with a one representing "This year has been very tough/challenging for my student" and a five representing "This has been the best year/my student is really enjoying school this year."

3. Please explain your rating for the previous question.

4. Overall, how do you, as parents/guardians, feel about the school year so far?
   This data is collected on a linear scale, with a one representing “Very frustrated or displeased” and a five representing “Very pleased and happy about the year so far.”

5. Please explain your rating for the previous question.

6. What do you feel are the strengths of your student? (these can be academic, social, things you are proud of, etc)  

7. What are some areas you feel your student needs to work on?  (these can be academic, social, etc.)   

8. Please identify any questions or concerns you would like addressed at conferences.

I change the form in the winter to gather information since the last conference.  These are the questions I use for the winter conference:

1.  Names of people attending the conference.  I realize this might change, but this gives me an idea of how many people will be here.  

2. Overall, how has your student felt about school since our last conference? This data is collected on a linear scale, with a one representing “This year has been very tough/challenging for my student” and a five representing “Feels good and is learning and enjoying school.”

3. Please explain your rating for the previous question.

4. Overall, how have you, as parents/guardians, been feeling about school since fall conferences?  This data is collected on a linear scale, with a one representing “Very frustrated or displeased” and a five  representing “Very pleased and happy.” 

5. Please explain your rating for the previous question.

6. Please offer suggestions to help make school a great place for your student.  

7. Please identify any questions or concerns you would like addressed at conferences.

How is this helpful?  When looking through comments before conferences, I found a theme that students were not feeling good about math.  I wouldn’t have found this out just from talking with the students, but obviously, they are going home sharing frustration, questions, or how they lack confidence.  I could gently bring that up at conferences, and the students looked relieved that we would talk about it.  We cleared up some misconceptions, and all felt positive about the conversations.  One family even reached out after thanking me for bringing it up, as the student didn’t want the family to bring it up.  I wouldn’t have known to bring this up had it not been on the survey.  

Another example was how one student was having problems with her two friends.  I didn’t see any issues in the classroom, but because the family put that on the survey, I could discuss friendships.  We had a great discussion, and since I was already aware, we brainstormed possible solutions.  We worked together with student input on what steps we could take.  Their students didn’t want them to bring it up at conferences.  Since this was shared on the survey, I was able to bring it up without the family having to, and the family was very thankful.  

The information I gain through these surveys provides many talking points, helps guide my conference planning, and ensures that families and students feel their voices are heard. 

Unite for Literacy: Free Digital Picture Books:

Unite for Literacy is a website that offers free digital picture books for students from different cultures, backgrounds and languages. These books are available on the Unite for Literacy bookshelf, which makes the digital book available on any device – computer, tablet or smartphone. Caregiver hint: Each book offers narration in multiple languages. Users can select their preferred language(s) for each page, which is ideal for multilingual learners. Some books include American Sign Language videos. Filtering by language on the bookshelf displays all available books in that language.

ICE/Deportation Conversations:

As you know, there is a fear of ICE raids and deportation for many of our families at McKinley, as well as families across the USA.  I'm hearing that students may be talking about this.  I would ask that we refrain from whole class conversations and instead have 1:1 conversations about this.  If a student is wondering, fearful, etc., it's good to remind them to have a conversation with their family/parents.  You can also remind them we all work very hard to be safe here at school.  If you have a student who is still struggling or needs more support, please connect them with Annette or Amanda.  If you need to collaborate about any of this (issues, conversations, etc), I'm happy to help.  Let me know. 

Do This, Not That:

Our last one is around assessment.  Take a few minutes to read through the visual as to what's best practice in assessments. 

Find the Joy - and Spread the Laughter!

We get so busy in our days....  don't forget to find the joy!  And, don't forget that your energy spreads - share that laughter!  Take a minute to watch (and hopefully smile) -

Happy Friday, McKinley! 

I hope you had a great week of learning, collaborating, and relationships!  

Observing Each Other & Seeing All OUR STRENGTHS!

McKinley is a place of life long learners.  As continous learners, it's important we conitnue to learn and grow in the science of teaching.   And, what better way to learn than from each of your gifts?  This building is full of strengths and amazing educators.   Below is a write-up from Karen Thurnau, 3rd Grade Teacher - 

Have you ever wondered how you could teach something different? Could your students be engaged more than they currently are? Am I on the right track?  These are all questions I’ve been asking myself while teaching BFF.

I had shared this with Justin and he suggested that I observe some other teachers teaching BFF. He helped me find coverage in my room so I could observe two other teachers while teaching BFF.  It turned out to be a great experience. I found out that there were so many “little” things I could try and they have made a BIG difference in how I approached BFF this week. In addition, I saw some classroom management skills that I could add to my bucket as well which was an extra perk.

If you have been thinking about a different approach or looking for different strategies, I strongly recommend doing this! You never know what great things are happening next door!

Do This, Not That:

This week's highlight is vocabulary. Below is a great visual reminder of the research around vocabulary.

Toot Your Horn Thursday:

This week, we have two receipents of the Toot Your Horn Thursday!

Jess Hanson was nominated by Ashlee Krauss for "Jessica covers my break from 10:30am - 11:00am everyday. When I came back from break the other day, all of beds had students in them, a few kids were sitting in my chairs waiting to be seen, and some were even in the hallway waiting to be seen for tummy aches, wounds, medication, etc. When I came back and saw all of the kids and how busy Jessica was, I quickly took over and Jessica offered to stay and help me "triage" the kids. By her staying late and helping me out, we were able to help a ton of kids and get them in and out in a timely manner. Thank you so much Jessica for helping me and the kiddos! I definitely could not have done it without you! You are the true definition of teamwork."

Sami Wrobleski was nominated anonynously for Sami is an amazing team member. Her attendance is superb and when she does need to be gone, she has her sub notes up-to-date with clear details to help out a person who needs to step into her position. In addition, she is a positive person even when her job can be very demanding. She demonstrates needed problem solving strategies when issues arise. Sami builds trusting relationships with students and adults. Thank you for being such an amazing team member."

I forgot last weeks' winner - 4th Grade Teachers and Students! Kate Seifert nominated them for "My class was at library, Mrs. Carlson was reading a book. I noticed 4th grade stopped in the hallway before entering the library, then entered all together-completely silently!! It was very respectful and appreciated!"

January 10 Update

Happy Friday, McKinley!

Another great week of learning and relatonships!  

Perspective:

January and February can often be hard times as an educator.  Below is an amazing photo - take a minute to read-  

Full transparency - I came back after break facing that mountain.  As I shared before, I was focused on the stress and all the "negative" about coming back.  It really took me a lot of processing, tears, and supportive people to help me move my seat on the bus.  Ask yourself - where are you sitting on the bus and are you currently happy with your view? 

Now, based on your response, what are you doing that is determining your seat on the bus and "view"?  Who are you surrounding yourself with?  Are you being someone who helps others see the "view"?  

Over the next week, I would challenge you to think about this - what is your "view" and what are you doing to help yourself (and others) see the beautiful view?  

Do This, Not That:

I found these from the Reading League which aligns to the Science of Reading.  Each week, we will highight a different component of literacy.  This week, we have decoding.  Below is a great graphic of the research behind what we should be doing, as well as not doing, to align to best practices.  Well worth the 2 minutes to read!
