Defending Public Schools
1. Public perception is crucial to our success. We work way too hard for people to think we are "dumbing down."
2. We have to tell our story- thank you to everyone who is mailing postcards home, putting pictures in the paper, sending lesson videos/pictures to Kim, etc.
3. Being able to read and write cursive is important, but time is a factor for us... So look for ways to let this be homework, extension activities, and enrichment opportunities in 2nd-5th grade.
