THANK YOU to our small group of parents, teachers, and administrators that participated in last week’s DEI (diversity, equity & inclusion) Committee Meeting! Although this work can be challenging since we all bring different perspectives to the table, I can’t think of anything more important to support our diverse community. The goal for our meeting was to engage in book talks surrounding our Elementary Inclusive Lending Library, specifically focusing on the state standards for reading and to evaluate text complexity (or simply put, the narrative’s ability to foster deep learning at a particular grade band). I can’t begin to say how WONDERFUL it was to see everyone unpack these texts together and to engage in meaningful conversation about the illustrations & vocabulary, and about text features such as genre or author’s purpose.
Congratulations to all the Students of the Month and their families who were honored at this week's Board of Education meeting. We are proud of you all. Please click to view the album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GEQMYW8k4UDDXiSk6
