LS NEWS: October 24
Dear Parents,
With one day left of the Scholastic Book Fair, a huge thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this event the success it has been. Of course, congratulations to Carly McAuliffe, the Lower School Librarian who organizes and creates the vision for this impactful event. Thank you all for supporting the Book Fair and encouraging your students to read all their new books and write in their journals. We look forward to seeing everyone tonight at Family Night.
During these first months of school, the Lower School Curriculum Committee began an in-depth exploration of mathematics instruction. After gathering faculty feedback at the end of last school year, the committee chose to conduct a comprehensive review of mathematics teaching this year. To begin the process, we contacted all FCIS lower schools, inquiring about the math curriculums they use and their reasons for selecting them. This feedback provided valuable insights into the various instructional approaches in schools like ours.
Now, the committee, in collaboration with the faculty, is developing critical criteria for evaluating math curriculums. These criteria will reflect the most essential aspects of effective math instruction, as identified by our teachers. The next step will be to analyze the requirements and explore programs that best meet the needs of our students and faculty.
Stay safe.
Kindest regards,
Louise Dunn
Head of Lower School
