Walk Out Update. This was from Mary Best in your email on Friday afternoon:
OKCPS teachers are going to meet at Northeast Academy at 9 a.m. and walk to the Capitol. We hope you will meet at your school and carpool. There is some parking at the Northeast Stadium off NE 30th. Wear comfortable shoes, dress in layers, pack your lunch and bring a water bottle.
Other parking will be available at Northwest Classen, Capitol Hill and Douglass. There will be shuttles from these sites to the Capitol. Also, Tabernacle Baptist Church, 1829 NE 36th, Oklahoma City is offering safe parking and a free shuttle to the Capitol. Shuttles will begin running at 7:30 a.m. and run until the end of the day. These shuttles will not run to Northeast.
We do have a shuttle from the AFL-CIO that will make stops at Northeast. It will run from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. A map is below. It will pick up and drop off.
AFT MEMBERS, You can still pickup your t-shirt on Friday at the AFT office, 2915 N. Classen, Suite 420. We are out of 2 XL t-shirts. We do have plenty of XL shirts and large shirts. Wear your t-shirts on Monday. Also, we have been asked to have two parking lot monitors per site at Northwest Classen, Capitol Hill and Douglass. If you are willing to assist, let me know.

Obstacles
Home / Article
By Carol Moehrle
Obstacles, oh those obstacles! We all seem to run into them on the road to achieving our goals. Sometimes their size and shape seem overwhelming. They block not only your road but the view of where you are heading.
People tend to deal with an obstacle in different ways. They fret and worry and let it block their way, they try to move or go around it to find a new path, or they consider it part of a new adventure and know that tomorrow, that obstacle won’t be quite the same.
How do you deal with obstacles that pop up in your life? Have you ever considered that they are there for a positive purpose? Is there an unknown meaning in the obstacles that divert you from your path?
No one can fully understand the daily challenges you go through. Your challenges are partly based on your feelings and interpretations at the time they occur. Next time you come across a large obstacle in your life, try taking a deep breath, stepping back, and looking deep within yourself to see if you can find an adventure. If you wait until the next day, you may find something positive in this obstacle.
One thing for sure: obstacles are seldom as large tomorrow as they are today.

Adding Sharing to the Keeping-Track Sheet
Home / Article
By Lori Sabo
The keeping-track sheet is a must-have page in my conferring notebook. I record the date each time I meet with a student for a one-on-one conference in both reading and writing. Then I can easily scan it to see with whom I have met and with whom I need to meet next.
Matt Glover recently shared an idea that makes this recording sheet even more valuable. When a student shares at the end of the literacy block or at the end of writing workshop, Matt circles the date. He can tell at a glance not only with whom he needs to confer but who needs a turn to share.
We lift the status of children when we share their writing or use them as mentors for other students. This makes it easy to keep track so we can make sure everyone gets his or her moment in the spotlight.
Keep your classroom doors locked while classes are in session.
Another key component in school emergency response is accountability:
Maintain updated class rosters with emergency contact information. Keep them easily accessi-ble in case of emergency situations, and on your person during an emergency
- LOCKOUT SECURE THE PERIMETER
- Classroom door locked, limited movement in the building (i.e. no outside recess) continue teaching.
- LOCKDOWN LOCKS, LIGHTS, OUT OF SIGHT
- Doors locked, lights out, everyone out of sight and quiet.
To Develop Every Child Into a Reader:
- Everyday a child reads something they choose to read.
- Every child reads accurately
- Every child reads something they understand.
- Every child writes something that is personal and meaningful daily.
- Every child talks with peers about reading and writing.
- Every child hears an adult reader read fluently.
