Our new Ledges Elementary building will offer an important, daily block of time for TK-1st grade students called WIN (What I Need).
During WIN, students are grouped together by similar skill areas with teachers and staff to provide targeted instruction, based on the needs of their group. Enjoy some facts about WIN!
🍏 Fact 1: Our Little Toreadors receive daily WIN time to develop their literacy and math skills. At key points in the year, students even have WIN for social-emotional learning!
🍎 Fact 2: During literacy WIN times, all hands are on deck! Our specials teachers, associates, and all teachers play a role in meeting the needs of our students during this time.
🍏 Fact 3: WIN groups are fluid and flexible as students’ needs change. Our teachers assess students frequently and use this data to create new groups as students’ skills progress.
