The school year is now complete. It’s hard to imagine as sometimes it feels like it just began. But in elementary classrooms across the district it’s evident that both students and teachers put in the work this school year. You can hear it in the work that students are completing. You can see it in their FastBridge scores.
For the last Eye on ECCS for the school year, we ventured into five elementary classrooms to celebrate student achievement this year. To reflect with teachers on the gains students made, and how teachers are evolving within the Science of Reading literacy practices, anchored by the state of Minnesota’s READ Act. It mandates that schools use structured literacy – systematic instruction in phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Thank you to Kristi Volp of Chanhassen Elementary, Megan Cotner and Shannon Pepper of Carver Elementary, Brett Carlson of Bluff Creek Elementary, and Maren Yue of Jonathan Elementary for giving us a glimpse into literacy learning in their classrooms!
