First Week of School Brings Smiles and Learning



We have had a wonderful first week of school here at Banks Road Elementary! Students and teachers began the school year with introductions, getting to know you activities and diving straight into the new common core curriculum.

Our newest Trailblazers made their appearance during staggered entry for tracks 1-3 in Kindergarten. Our Kindergarten Meet the Teacher was a great success today as parents and rising kindergarten students attended a floating meet the teacher session, found their seats and cubbies and spent some time exploring their new classrooms.


Look at our learning and teaching process in action...


Mrs. Rodgers and her class discusses building reading stamina. She is charting the minutes that the class can read successfully.



Ms. Garvey's class (above) is working on the correct sitting posture for writing time. Ms. Bone (below) is assessing students to capture valuable literacy data to support classroom instruction.






Many great activities were happening over the past week. More photos and information to come! Thank you for all that you do to support BRES and have a great weekend! Mrs. Graf
