Julie Stewart:

•  District goal for Literacy and Math
• Literacy: The goal is to have all kids to grade level in both Math and English. For all students to have a deep understanding. In Middle school, in MSTE, they are working on stop Motion. They practice in small groups. They will get to put a movie together at the end of the unit. In Music, the 7 and 8’s write about the music they listen to and how the music connects to them. In Kindergarten the grade 8’s has partnered with the K students. It is a beautiful bond between old and new. Kindergarteners get to listen to an older read. They have taken leaf and letter walks.

• Math: Grade 7 are working with micro bots (block Coding)

Put in new transition practices to avoid overcrowding. Do not know when the portables will be ready. It is a contracting issue.
