Twenty-eight classroom teachers are scurrying to finalize details in their classrooms. To this end, we make a concerted effort to identify all children who have special needs which impair their chances for success. We are also participating in the state class size reduction plan and have no more than twenty students in classes in grades one through three. Under the provisions of a modified class size reduction program, our developmental kindergarten and kindergarten have been restructured on a staggered schedule, with more than half of each child's day taking place in classes of approximately fifteen. Student council is helping our custodian prepare for a final program.
Fifth graders exude an air of excitement and expectation.
Parents are everywhere. Classes migrate toward the playground with American flags flying high in the hands of each line leader. The annual fifth grade recognition ceremony is about to begin. Today is the last day of school for the year, but just the beginning of another phase of doing and learning and thinking. We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions.
