Our next Joy Staff duck update is from Mrs. Ochoa🦆💛

Mrs. Ochoa is getting her ducks in a row by planning read alouds for the year. This year Mrs. Ochoa is teaching Reading for all sixth graders.📚🍎✏️

📚 Did you know? By sixth grade, students are reading to learn rather than learning to read. Strong reading skills help them succeed in every subject from science and social studies to math and beyond!💙💛

Our next Joy Staff duck update is from Mrs. Christopherson!🦆💛

Mrs. Christopherson is getting her ducks in a row by preparing reading and writing resources for her students and families.📚🍎✏️

Just 20 minutes of reading at home each day can make a big difference!📚 It helps build vocabulary, improve reading skills, strengthen comprehension, boost confidence, and foster a lifelong love of learning. Those 20 minutes add up to nearly 2 million words a year!!!🤩🥳 One chapter at a time! 💙💛

Our next Joy Staff Duck Update involves some lesson plan PONDering by Mrs. Havlin!🦆💛

Mrs. Havlin is not one to WING her lessons…🪽 She is getting her ducks in a row by taking some time to plan out her lessons for the upcoming school year!📕✏️

Did you know… a planner is more than just a place to write homework? It helps students build organization, responsibility, time management, and independence. These are all skills that will support them both in and out of the classroom for years to come. 🦆✨
