McMillin’s Instructional Focus

Our goal this year is to increase our students’ use of collaborative conversations in math.  Discussions increase student’s engagement, helps them take responsibility for their learning, prompts higher level thinking, offers room for clarification, encourages children to build and share knowledge and gives them an opportunity to apply comprehension strategies. Here’s an example from one of our second grade classrooms:

PTA Membership Drive

Our PTA membership drive was a great success! Thank you to all of the parents who signed up, to our teachers for encouraging families to join and for our PTA for treating the winning class (and our teachers) to a pizza lunch on Friday.  Congratulations to Ms. Desmond’s second grade class and Ms. Kinney’s 6th grade class for having the most parent sign ups.
