Celebrating our Students, Staff and Families!
Click on the movie below to see a sampling of our
outstanding October.
Reflecting on our month
We were strongly supported by Hartwick and SUNY Oneonta college students during the month of October. The students and their professors provided support at nearly every grade level. The partnership between our school and the two colleges had a positive impact on all parties involved.
Our first month of Power Up served our school community well. Classroom teachers collaborated to provide targeted small group lessons. For example, with an emphasis on vocabulary and higher level thinking, a 6th grade group studied Shakespeare. Using creative writing as their vehicle, a fourth grade group focused on word choice and sentence structure. In second grade a core group of students focused on word attack skills and fluency. They studied whales to achieve this goal. There were numerous effective student centered groups taking place during our Power Up time. Thank you to the teachers for carefully planning and thank you to the students for working so diligently.
If you have not already done so, please take a few minutes to look over the blog. I try to highlight at least two events each week. It was an outstanding October.
