3/20/26

💖Community Reading Day is next week (on 3/27)!  Our Community Readers will be arriving at TPS between 9:00-9:15 and will enjoy a small breakfast in the library until 9:30.  At 9:25, please send two Warriors from your class (to the library) at 9:30 to help escort your reader to your classroom!  We anticipate the readers finishing up by 10:00.  Readers will then need to be escorted back to the library by two Warriors (same or different) when they are all done!  Janna would like to share more information with you. Check that out here.  And here is the list of readers (b/c some may have changed).  Please take pictures!  Share them with me! I hope to make it to every room, but just in case, please take a few! The books the readers come to read are now yours for your classroom collections! Please add them to the read aloud list. ;-)

⭐Would anyone be interested in tutoring a TPS sixth grader (through the District for medical reasons)? If so, let me know. 

😉Please be sure to get those Panorama surveys done!

👉From Lara to 3-5 teachers: 

We are excited to offer a new professional learning opportunity focused on Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC). This series is designed to support teachers in strengthening student engagement, collaboration, and mathematical thinking while making strong connections to our Eureka Math curriculum. If you are interested in expanding strategies that promote student discourse and active problem solving, we encourage you to consider signing up.


Grant Funded Professional Learning Opportunity: Building Thinking Classrooms (Grades 2–5 District Teachers/Stipend $420)

Location: Glenwood Elementary Curriculum Pod
Dates: April 2, April 9, and April 16
Time: 4:00–6:00 PM
Presenters: Kayla Cordio, Kristine Miller, Susie Robichaud

WRSD elementary educators in grades 2–5 are invited to participate in a professional learning series focused on Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) instructional practices. This learning experience will support teachers in developing classroom structures that increase student engagement, collaboration, and mathematical thinking while connecting directly to our Eureka Math curriculum.

During these sessions, participants will explore the core routines and teacher moves that help students become active problem solvers. Teachers will leave each session with practical tools, classroom routines, and lesson ideas that can be implemented immediately in the classroom.

Who should apply:
Grade 2–5 classroom teachers interested in strengthening student discourse, collaboration, and problem solving in mathematics.

Participants are required to commit to all three sessions to experience the full progression of the work and build a complete set of strategies and materials for classroom implementation. 

Please sign up in through this Google Form if you are interested.

Thank you!  Lara
