October marches on and we continue to learn. As I walked down the hallways I saw and heard our students engaged, enthusiastic, and fully immersed in learning. Last week I had an opportunity to visit Mrs. Sessa’s and Mrs. Petrarca’s classes as a mystery reader. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to read to them. It not only served as a way to connect with students, but it also helped me revisit my teaching roots! I hope to visit more classrooms in the future.
Please check your email for a letter regarding guidelines and procedures for our Halloween parade!
Evacuation Drill
Today we held an off-site evacuation drill for all staff and students. Students did a great job in following instructions and proceeding to our evacuation site. Everything went smoothly! Please note that this type of security drill is mandated for all New Jersey public schools.
As shared on Monday, October 18th, our Noecker Reads Trimester 1 Inclusivity parent folders are available! Our teachers and the Inclusivity Committee worked collaboratively in their development and will continue to explore best practices, district needs, and implementation strategies as Trimesters 2 and 3 are developed. Inclusivity activities will occur during students’ scheduled Health & Wellness periods beginning the week of October 25th.
As shared in last week’s Wednesday Notification , Our Trimester 1 Noecker Reads texts have been slightly revised as we completed our units. They are:
-
Grades K-1 Alma written and illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal A Caldecott Honor Book
-
Grades 2-4 Where Are You From? written by Yamile Saied Mendez and illustrated by Jamie Kim
-
Grades 5-6 Islandborn written by Junot Diaz and illustrated by Leo Espinosa A Pura Belpre Honor Book
You can view all three books (electronically), teaching slides, and activity hand-outs HERE .
Please take the time and opportunity to review the texts, discussions, and activities students and teachers will explore during the Trimester 1’s focus on Identity beginning next week.
As we move along with October and ADHD Awareness month, we feel as though it is especially valuable to share some strategies that can be implemented both at school and at home to help support our children with ADHD.
Some strategies include:
-
Keeping a set routine and schedule for activities
-
Using a system of clear rewards and consequences, such as a point system or token economy
-
Seating the child near the instructor
-
Using small groups for activities
-
Encouraging students to pause a moment before answering questions
-
Keeping assignments short or breaking them into sections
-
Close supervision with frequent, positive cues to stay on task
