Tell me what you think of our school
Recently, I completed a survey of our staff and students to try and learn as much as I can about Summersville Grade School. These groups encapsulate two very important but very different perspectives of our school. Now, I am asking parents and community members to give me your perspective of our school. This is your opportunity to provide your input. I will utilize what I learn from these surveys and other conversations to decide how to focus our future efforts for improvements to our school.
Please follow the link below to participate in the short survey.
What happening around Summersville Grade School?
Flexibile Seating has come to Mrs. McCoy's Class
Mrs. McCoy has brought a new approach to where her students sit as they learn in her class. She calls this approach "Flexible Seating". This allows students who are working to have the freedom to find comfortable spaces around the room to work. They might be kneeling, standing, sitting, working on the carpet, using a clipboard and pillow, sitting at a desk, or sitting on an exercise ball. There are many possibilities of what this can look like in a classroom. According to Mrs. McCoy, "Research shows that students are able to focus and do their best work when they are comfortable. Classrooms across the nation are changing the way student workspaces look, for the better!"
Mrs. McCoy is looking to expand her classroom's options for Flexible Seating. She is accepting donations of new or gently used items with examples provided below.
Examples:
Carpet Squares - Stability balls with feet - Bean Bag Chairs -Lap Desks - Wiggle Seats
