Even though it was a short week at Governor Winslow School, it certainly was a busy one! All students have successfully completed their midyear iReady diagnostic assessments in both math and reading. Following the assessments, our teachers collaborated to analyze the data and plan targeted instruction to support student growth for the remainder of the year.

On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of conducting a math learning walk with Bridges consultants, administration, district math coaches, and two classroom teachers. As we walked throughout the building, we observed teaching and learning in action. The team was able to celebrate the many elements of high quality instruction in math and make valuable suggestions for our plans moving forward.

We are excited to share that our fifth-grade PeaceLeaders have taken on a new leadership role by delivering the morning announcements each day. This is a great opportunity to build more student voice into the day and for them to build confidence and communication skills. Our fifth-grade PeaceLeaders also had a wonderful idea to wrap up our week. We all enjoyed a "Comfy Cozy Spirit Day" on Friday, with students and staff embracing the chance to stay warm and comfortable during this recent streak of cold weather.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education. I am so proud of our students and teachers at GWS.

Have a wonderful weekend!
