A Week in Review 10.9.15

It was another week filled with meaningful and purposeful learning!  I have shared some of the highlights.  Enjoy!


On Wednesday staff participated in a wide array of workshops, too many to name.  Some of our staff collaborated with their colleagues to look at their math and writing practices and to plan instruction to best meet the needs of their students.  We have many staff members who are currently taken a course on co teaching, which is being led by the Assistant Superintendent, Jen Elineema, and the Director of Special Education, Pam Giourad.  Participants in this course worked on gaining a deeper understanding of best practices in the co teaching model by sharing ideas and experiences in their classrooms.  Time spent discussing teaching and learning has a direct impact in our students, and we cherish this time together!

Staff Update: Andrea Phelan, grade 3 teacher, will be assuming the role of the Interim Assistant Principal of the Lynch School. Andrea's experience in the classroom and in leadership roles will serve her well as she embarks on this new challenge. Andrea will be missed in our community, but it is comforting to know that students in Winchester will continue to benefit!

I am delighted to announce that Lauren Cooper will be joining the third grade team. Lauren has taught in grades kindergarten, first, and third in Lowell. Presently, she is completing her Master's degree in reading and works at Lynch as an ISS. I know that you will join me in welcoming her to our community.

Enjoy the long weekend!
