Our amazing MES teachers were hard at work during yesterday's Early Release professional development as they collaborated across grade levels as part of their School Improvement Goal!
Their focus this month was cross grade articulation about math fluency making sure they all had a shared understanding of the fluency standards at every grade level. Teachers dug into instruction, strategies, and fun, meaningful games students can use to build strong math foundations.
We’re so proud of our team for coming together to ensure consistent, high-quality math learning for all students!
