Dear Proctor Penguins and Families,
Last week was all about math at Proctor. We kicked off Math MCAS with our fifth graders and followed with fourth grade. Our students showed great focus and perseverance and we are proud of their efforts. This week, fourth grade will wrap up their testing and third grade will begin. We appreciate your support in helping students come to school well rested and ready to do their best.
We also spent time in classrooms conducting math walkthroughs as part of our first year of full implementation of Eureka Math². This helps us stay aligned in what strong math instruction looks like and ensures all students are engaging in meaningful thinking and learning.
On an non-math related note, it was wonderful to see our first graders proudly share their learning during the Animal Home Show project showcase. Students did an incredible job presenting their work and reflecting on what they learned. Thank you to the families who joined us and helped make the experience so special for our students. Also, thank you to our first grade teachers and support staff for making this event so successful and fun!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and it is a special time to recognize the incredible educators who care for, challenge, and support our students each day. If you are able, a kind note or message goes a long way in showing appreciation for all they do. We are so grateful for our Proctor staff and the heart they bring to this work.
As always, thank you for your partnership and for being such an important part of our Proctor community. Together we live the Penguin Way by taking care of ourselves, each other, and our school.
