Wanna hear a read aloud? Students at Robert Frost/Challenge were visited by the building's instructional coach over the past few weeks. Coach Smith shared a little about herself, what an instructional coach does, and read a book aloud to students. The time in classrooms, connecting with students builds community and deepens relationships, benefiting all learners. #investing

Let the learning continue! Our wonderful new hires engaged in professional learning Thursday after school at the New Hire Academy, digging into math manuals and learning best ways to partner with the curriculum.
