The month of November seems to come and go quickly year after year. This month, we welcomed families into our classrooms during American Education Week. Thank you to all families who were able to attend. We are proud of the work we do in the classroom, and we hope you were able to get a snapshot of your child's daily routines and the instruction that our teachers work so hard to craft. Teaching is more than just standing in front of a classroom and directing students what to do. We are aiming to teach children how to think critically, how to be independent learners, and how to work through challenges.
As the holiday season continues, our job tends to become more challenging as the excitement builds for each child and we have less time to accomplish all we'd like to get done. In early November, our students were introduced to two new online learning resources which can be utilized at home.
Our new math initiative, ST Math, is a brain-based program that challenges students to think outside the box but at the same time, meets students at their level of performance. All of our children have a username and password and know each. Children can access ST Math from home.
Our new Language Arts resource is called MYON and it is a supplemental reading program that is also accessible to children at home. Each child has a username and password and individualized reading libraries can be created for your learner.
We ask that you encourage your child to spend time on each program to reinforce and advance learning that takes place within the classroom. Below are two links that will provide you with an overview of information for each program.
Thank you for your support and as always, we are here to partner with you in assisting your children in gaining a quality education.
