CLEARWATER STEAM NEWSLETTER
Home of the Dolphins - November 18 - 22, 2024
Welcome Back Clearwater Elementary STEAM Families,
Last week, Clearwater hosted the County's District Site Science Leaders Community of Practice. We are proud to share the remarkable, rigorous, and engaging instruction that takes place in our classrooms, all designed to maximize the learning of every student.
The feedback from our visitors was incredibly positive and highlighted the following:
- Evidence of thoughtful planning and collaboration among teachers in every classroom.
- Student talk thrives across grade levels and subjects, encouraging active participation.
- Cross-curricular connections are abundant, including writing about PBLs, integrating ELA and math into science, and blending art with science.
- Classrooms are safe, supportive spaces where students collaborate, communicate, and learn.
- Students are engaged in rigorous learning—making meaning, thinking strategically, and justifying their reasoning.
As we head into parent conference week, we’re excited to see our students shine as they take the lead in their student-led conferences. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to share their growth, reflect on their learning, and celebrate their accomplishments with you. We are looking forward to an inspiring week ahead!
