Greetings MCS Elementary Parents,

I am writing to inform you of a great professional development opportunity for the MCS Elementary Faculty. This Wednesday through Friday, MCS will be hosting literacy consultant Enid Martinez right here in our classrooms! Enid has worked for more than a decade at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP) under the leadership of Lucy Calkins at Columbia University.  She is known for working with school districts and individual schools across the nation and worldwide in the area of reading and writing instruction.  

Our team will be focusing on analyzing and using student data and standards to further strengthen our overall reading and writing program. Specifically, Enid will be providing additional training on reading and writing workshop model including mini lessons, one on one conferencing, and interactive writing. 

We are fully committed to instilling a passion for both reading and writing in your children. On behalf of the elementary team, I would like to thank you for your partnership in educating your children. We look forward to our upcoming professional development training and welcome any questions you may have about the program.

Thank you for praying for our team as we seek to Glorify God in all we do!

 Blessings,
