There was a lot of learning going on at the parent coffee this morning! Michele Arterberry, our English Language Support Teacher (ELST), presented information on the eight Thinking Maps that our staff have taught the students this year. Today, we focused on the Flow Map which helps with the thinking process of SEQUENCE. We demonstrated how to do one, did one together and then had the parents do one on their own. Parents then were shown how to take the information from the Flow Map and create a two to three paragraph essay from it.
Thinking Maps is a school wide program we have taken on. Ask your child's teacher about it! Your kids are doing great things with the maps. We will demonstrate another map at future meetings.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jenkins-Martin
Principal
