Ms. Colesworthy's 4th grade class worked on an AVID One Pager on our power standard R.1.2. They had theme written 📝in the middle of the page and then divided the page into four sections for the four Benchmark stories. They wrote the theme with evidence for each story in each quadrant. Scholars had choice in their way to decorate and show their understanding. Some scholars drew pictures and some used pictures and evidence cut from the text. They really enjoyed demonstrating their understanding of the standard in different ways! 💥💜💛#stingraysoar #AVID

🌟 PSE Shout Out! 🌟 We are so proud of our amazing kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Lopes, for representing PSE at our district professional development day! 🎉 She presented a session on INTERACTIVE WRITING using our Benchmark Advance curriculum 📚 and UFLI strategies ✏️ to strengthen literacy instruction and support student success. 💜💛 Way to go, Mrs. Lopes — you make us proud! 💜💛 #Unstoppable

As an AVID Showcase School, we are laser-focused on WICOR — Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading — to ensure meaningful learning happens every single day. Our teachers are intentionally implementing AVID strategies to increase authentic engagement and purposeful collaboration in every classroom. Scholars are not just learning content — they are writing to think, asking deeper questions, working together to solve problems, staying organized, and strengthening their reading skills across all subject areas. This week, we are celebrating some of the amazing teachers who are bringing WICOR to life in powerful ways! Their dedication to high-quality instruction and student engagement truly makes a difference for our Stingrays each and every day. 💜💛 #AVIDShowcaseSchool #WICOR #EngagedLearners #StingrayStrong
