Learning Spaces
"How Children Learn"
At one time, most schools believed students worked best in warm, bright, quiet, and consistent learning atmospheres. Wow! That has certainly changed.

"Starbucks my Classroom, Please!"
It is funny, but as I write this blog, I am sitting in a Toyota Dealership, waiting for service on my car. I love coming here for service, because the waiting room affords so many options for me while I wait.

Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey Update!
Over the past few weeks we have sent out information regarding the Illinois State Board of Education survey, The 5Essentials. All schools in Illinois participate in this survey, providing each with valuable data regarding areas of achievement and opportunities for improvement. The vast majority of our students and staff have already participated in the survey, as well as about 10% of our families at this time.
We are hoping to have greater participation by our families in order to have a more complete picture of how we are doing, as well as how we can improve. We are once again sending out the link to the survey, and request your assistance in gathering this feedback.
The survey closes on Jan. 30, 2017.
