SPRING RIDGE ES FRIDAY FLYER
11/11/16
Smore News for your Weekend...
Thank you for participating in Mustache Day! We love to see our school spirit shine! Students enjoy that you participate on these days with them!
Thank you also for your hard work and dedication this week connecting with our families during conferences.
As we begin our second quarter and reflect on our instructional practices, we’re excited to see the level of engagement that is happening in classrooms. We already know that arts integration is naturally engaging as it provides students opportunities for individual choice, to engage in collaborative learning experiences with peers, to make decisions, and learn to work together to achieve a shared goal. We also know the arts offer teachers multiple means for providing information to a wide range of learners, multiple means for all students to make sense of and express their understandings, and multiple means for engaging all students in authentic, and energizing learning experiences.
As you plan for your quarter two instruction, think about how you are continuing to design rigorous instruction that integrates subjects and differentiates learning experiences for all students. Let’s keep our students engaged and motivated in their learning as we come to this second quarter that is filled with interrupted days off as the holidays approach.
Thank you for all you do to ensure that SRES ignites Success Through a creative Environment with an Achievement Mindset!
