Constructivist Teaching by Heart - Read our Newsletter

Hello!

It’s May and another school year is wrapping up! These final days of the school year are filled with so many emotions – pride in how far our kids have come, excitement for an upcoming break, and anticipation for next year when we get to “do it all over again” with all of our new plans and goals. That’s the life of an educator.

This month, we will continue our little dive into writing instruction with the focus on using the stages of writing to inform assessment and planning for instructional next steps.

Happy reading! As always, we’d love to hear your comments and suggestions!
