Hawks Community Curriculum Corner
September 2018
Welcome!
Welcome to the first edition of the Hawks Community Curriculum Corner!
My name is Marianne Rehfield and I am the Instructional Coach at Holmes School. I am bringing 15 years of classroom experience with me to this position as well as a masters in curriculum and instruction and a principal's administrative degree. I am excited to work with the Holmes community to create a positive learning environment that is equitable, inclusive, and focused on the whole child.
My role this year will be to support teacher teams and individual teachers by providing targeted support for curriculum, instruction, and assessment in order to accelerate learning for all students.
Each month, this curriculum corner will provide resources to use with your children at home.
Please reach out if there are any specific topics you would like to see addressed in this platform.
I look forward to working with our community to make an impact for all of our students.
In partnership,
Marianne

Instead of writing about your whole vacation, you might write about the moment you stuck your feet in the ocean.
Instead of writing about your entire birthday, you can write about a favorite present that you opened.
Work with your child to record possible "small moments".
