Hooper team leaders gathered on August 11th to develop School Improvement Goals in the areas of Reading, Math, and Social Emotional Learning. We strive to meet the needs of all learners. Goals include extending the time spent in guided reading, engaging students in novel studies, and helping them develop a love of reading for fun and for information! In the area of social emotional development, we are creating more leadership opportunities for students. For example, older students will assist younger students at bus dismissal time, help out in Early Childhood P.E. classes, organize service learning projects, become tour guides, and become Book Buddies with primary classes. Younger students will have responsibilities within the classroom and grow into school ‘jobs’. These opportunities will help us recognize all the leaders in our school!
