These professionals work together to meet the emotional, social, and educational, needs of our children. Our mission is to develop motivated, productive, life-long learners. The Webb A. Murray Elementary School Reading Program is a student-centered instructional design based on the belief in the expertise of professional teachers to guide the development of readers, writers, and thinkers. Students are involved in active learning daily. Reading, writing, and thinking are inseparable aspects of learning.
Students accept responsibility for their own learning.
Students use novels, Junior Great Books, resource text, and other printed materials. This offers students opportunities to learn by improving confidence, broadening knowledge, clarifying ideas, strengthening communication skills, and establishing life-long learning skills. The backbone of our math program is Excel Math. Students must demonstrate mastery daily and apply this skill to many different types of problems. Teachers supplement this demanding math program with manipulatives and a variety of hands-on activities.
