Final preparations are under way to start School on August 30th. We have been hosting dozens of Melrose teachers in the final weeks of August to provide training in SMART board use and technology integration. All classrooms will have their own SMART boards to start the year. We'll also be implementing our complete hands on inquiry based science program developed by FOSS and using a newly revised math curriculum. Our focus on these STEM (science, technology engineering, and math) initiatives brings great excitement to the building.
Here is a link to the FOSS website where there are several resources and ideas for parents and families at home to expand science experiences at home.
