Lander Friday Newsletter
Friday, October 15th, 2021
The principals enjoyed the time at different schools this week, it was great to see how much our schools have in common and also reflect on ways in which I can continue to support growth at Lander. This week at Lander, in Synergy the students learned about the SORA reading program with digital stories. Our 5th grade students have been working on place value and adding and subtracting decimals. Our 2nd grade students have been building compound words and learning about how writers are readers and readers are writers, these intersections help to build our students skills in writing.
