We hope this report gives you a better picture of what students are experiencing and accomplishing in our school. If you have specific questions about your child's performance or this report, please contact the school. A Day in the Life School begins with opening exercises, which include the Pledge of Allegiance, a patriotic song, a poem, or a thought for the day. Our school focus is on literacy so each class has a large block of literacy time each day which includes Guided, Shared and Independent reading time. During this time students work in both small and large groups.
Additional teachers work with the classroom teacher to increase and support small group activities.
In math class the use of manipulatives, investigations as well as computers help to reinforce student's skills. Science class finds students working on experiments that incorporate writing, research, math and computer skills. Our Social Studies classes are alive with inquiry, research and discovery. Children look forward to their music class, because our teacher promotes self-esteem and values with his own music. There were 215 students enrolled at the end of the 1999-2000 school year.
