What a great start to our school year! We sure enjoyed welcoming parents this week at our Kinder Information Night as well as the Ice Cream Social. Starting back to school during a shortened week helps everyone settle back into routines- including early to bed and early to rise.
As you enter our school and see our bulletin display in the entryway you may be wondering, "What is the Innovator's Mindset all about?" The eight key characteristics will be incorporated in a variety of ways throughout the school year and align with the book I'll be sharing with every classroom starting next week. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to read the short piece we dipped into as a staff from George Courous's book, The Innovator's Mindset.
Innovator's Mindset
During our staff training days we also invited a consultant to join us to learn more about brain research related to reading and the importance of brain-based literacy instruction. We continue to deepen our understanding and refine skills for how to best serve students in the area of reading.
Brain Based Literacy Instruction
Our staff is embracing an "Innovator's Mindset" as they start the school year bringing new ideas, a continued commitment, and a true passion for teaching and learning to best serve our students. We truly are an amazing community. Our welcoming sidewalk chalk says it all...
