Governing Board Member Jo Alegria and Dr. Miyashiro visited Meridian on Wednesday. The students and staff were very excited to show off their projects and the digital tools they are using on their Chromebooks. Our JiJi Math Masters showed off their math skills, superstar readers presented projects and read books with their peers, and 2nd graders worked in cooperative groups to solve multi-step math problems. One little first grader scurried by us with his Chromebook in his hands and a big grin on his face saying, “I’ve got a lotta work to do!” He was the epitome of a happy, eager learner! Teachers were equally involved facilitating projects and providing small group and individualized instruction. A great combination of effective instructional strategies combined with innovative practices is in the works at Meridian! We really enjoyed the visit and opportunity to share our exciting plans for next year’s media room, Student Led Conferences and brand new playground! Thank you, Mrs. Alegria and Dr. Miyashiro for your visit and continued support.
