Lambs Ledger
December 2021
Message from the Principal, Jamie McCarthy
As we close out 2021, we will begin to assess our students to get mid year academic achievement data. This will provide us the opportunity to see what skills have been mastered and which areas we need to focus on. Our teachers have been working diligently everyday to ensure that our students are interacting with outstanding instruction. Please help us by having your child to school on time and prepared for learning. Each day your student is not present, it creates an additional challenge. You cannot replace in person instruction.
I hope that all of you are able to enjoy this holiday season with your family and loved ones. I look forward to welcoming everyone back January 4th with a refreshed focus and energy as we gear up for the most impactful part of the school year!
Lambs Adopts New Literacy Curriculum
Decades of research have determined that reading occurs in a specific way in the brain of all people. It does not occur naturally the way speech does. This process must be taught. It is a process of building neuro-pathways in the brain that link sounds of speech to written symbols or letters. Therefore, come the second semester we will continue to use research based practices as well as make a few altercations using EL Education to ensure that our instruction reaches all of our students at the highest level they can. We will provide more in-depth information as we get close to this new venture!
