Writing is not only an important communication skill, but it helps to create better readers as well. Last week Ellis welcomed a nationally recognized writing expert who worked with teachers and students. She emphasizes the use of relevant topics and a process that continually improves the final written product. I hope you will have a few extra minutes as you stop by school next time to take a look at all of the wonderful creative stories lining our halls and classroom bulletin boards.
Next week we will also spend time improving as a faculty. There is no school on Thursday or Friday as we strive to improve our skills and knowledge to help provide a challenging and nurturing environment for all students.
I am particularly excited about our fifth grade Lego Robotics program that meets after school. This program helps students think critically and develops mathematical concepts in a manner that engages all students.
I don’t think we could ask for better weather! Have a great weekend.
