Thursday Folder Fliers:
Welcome Back~
I hope you had a wonderful two weeks with your family and friends! Last week was a bit interesting with our snow day, but this week we are moving forward. We are so excited to start the second semester with your children. Have a wonderful weekend!
Writing Curriculum Update:
As you may know, Iron Horse teachers have researched multiple writing resources to support our students' learning. Of particular importance to our staff was a resource that provided differentiated learning opportunities, sound assessment practices, development of the 4Cs and 21st Century skills, transference to other content areas, alignment within our feeder area, and the ability to internalize the skills and strategies used by effective writers. We truly believe that we have found that resource in Thinking Maps and Write from the Beginning. We are excited to begin training this spring and summer. Please be on the lookout for more information about Thinking Maps after our training in February.
