Sarah Ward, our Instructional Coach, visited several classrooms in December to read a fun story and give a mini-lesson on writing. The students love her enthusiasm and always learn from her lessons. She also conducts monthly literacy collaboration and shares valuable resources with teachers. We are fortunate to have her expertise shared with all of our teachers.
