Good Afternoon to Families,
We have had a very successful opening to the school year. Students are adjusting well entering their new grade. Teachers will be continuing exploring the implementation of readers workshop in grades 1 and 3. In grade 2, teachers are implementing the Fundations program. So far, teachers have been excited about these approaches and students as well. Students in grades 1 and 3 are working on stamina during reading and focusing on mini lessons on how to be better readers. Soon the PAC will be doing a reading online fundraiser that will help to both get students excited about reading at home and help to fund some enrichment and PAC supported purchases. More information will be sent out for that soon. Also, we had our first all school meeting this week in the cafeteria. All students and staff gathered and we discussed our school norms and growth mindset. The students did great and we will continue this monthly. Please see some upcoming dates for the month of October and check the principal blog and twitter feed for frequent school updates.
