Newsletter for September 8, 2017

What We Learned This Week

Math Fact Strategies
Mrs. Savage, our Deaf & Hard of Hearing educator, recorded a few math lessons covering how we develop math fact fluency. While it is always very humbling to watch myself, I hope these videos will give you an understanding of how you can support your student. You can click on the following links to watch these lessons. They are not perfect, but no day is:) 

Diversity and Cultural Competency
I was honored to be part of our Windermere team that went through three days of training in diversity and cultural competency. I am excited to bring this important work back to our building to ensure every member of our community is respected, included and supported.
