Our last full week of remote only...hopefully!If all goes well and as expected, this will be our last week of fully remote learning for a while (hopefully). Please tune in to tonight's school committee meeting to hear Dr. Maruszczak's decision about a definitive start for hybrid learning and the district's plan to keep students and staff safe. Here is a LINK to the 7:00 PM meeting. The HYBRID Schedule

STMathThe district was awarded a grant so that we can offer STMath to our students. I really despise most online math programs that market themselves as helping kids to acquire and practice new skills. Most, in my opinion, are little more than digital worksheets that induce an amazing amount of frustration and distaste for mathematics in our students. In my opinion, STMath is different. It truly helps students to develop a conceptual understanding of the math concepts taught at any given grade level. There are no directions. Children have to learn by noticing what is on the screen and taking risks. Sometimes (even for us) the only way to understand a new puzzle is to fail a few times. Making mistakes is definitely part of the learning process here. |
Every day, your child will have a small group meeting with Professors Brigham, Griswold, and Quimby. During this time we will reinforce skills learned in math and reading classes, as well as help students, manage the demands placed on them including assignment completion and working toward tech skill proficiency. Your witch or wizard only needs to attend his or her HOUSE meeting. When not in a House meeting, the colored blocks can be used for I.W.T. (Independent Work Time). |
From our perspective, all the witches and wizards appear to be adapting well to life at HOGWARTS. However, we are well aware that some students work REALLY had to keep it together at "school" and then fall apart when they are home (off-screen). Please don't hesitate to contact us if your student is struggling or if there is information we should know to better help your child to thrive. |
