During the first full week of school, the students in Mrs. Cole and Ms. Gault's Pre-K 4 class explored colors. They worked as a whole group and in small groups to identify and match colors.
Chalk Talk Collaborations! This happened in Grade 3 classroom this week.
#WCPSInTheNews: Education News Source, The 74, highlights Worcester's performance with literacy: "Every state has its own pockets of success (represented as gold circles in the graphs). These “exceptional districts” are in the top 5% of their state, in terms of outscoring their expected reading proficiency rate. For example, Worcester County in Maryland serves about 7,000 students along the Atlantic coast. Worcester falls in the middle of the pack in terms of poverty, but it has by far the highest third grade reading proficiency rate in the state."

In honor of 9/11, students in Mrs. Singer's 4th grade class had a morning circle about what it means to be a hero, they then created a class quilt of ideas showing what they think it means to be a hero.
Students use a jigsaw approach to conquer a task. This was during a third grade reading class. Nicely done!!
