The Serene Scoop
Serene Hills Elementary School --- October 19, 2018
Book Character Dress up Day is Oct. 31
Meaningful learning is happening all around campus. Learners are the center of it all.
Learning is empowering
Learning is social
Learning is inspiring
We are exploring innovative ways to support the next level of learning.
Recently, we hosted our district instructional coaches at one of our after school SHE staff Professional Learning Sessions. The coaches showcased book we had purchased for our teachers to select from. Each teacher picked a book that caught their interest, connected to their passion or was aligned to something they wished to learn about. Our teachers are invested in learning new innovative strategies to grow every child. The titles include:
Kids Deserve It!, The Innovator's Mindset, The Wild Card, Talk to Me, Learn like a Pirate, and Sparks in the Dark.
