Thinking Strategies Institute this week!
Thank you to all who have offered to cover or rearrange to support our hosting of this year's Thinking Strategies Institute. Someone reminded me that this is the first time we have hosted since I occupied Ms. Arnold's classroom with the fabulous Tracy Miller.
Looking forward to showing us off to visitors this week!

As we build the foundation for our personalized learning team, East Middle will engage in learning together. Making learning deep, personal, and meaningful for our students is the trajectory for all of us- not just for the few in our pilot year.

Please take some time this week to read and explore the links below...
