Title 1 Reading & Math
-
It is our goal that all children will become independent learners making math and reading meaningful in their everyday life. As Title I teachers we believe that we best serve our students by varying instruction to meet individual student needs; promoting academic growth by providing challenging instruction that is both process and product oriented. Because we differentiate instruction, each child is provided an opportunity to be a successful life-long learner.Math
"Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children"
