Lexington welcomed visitors to see the big changes happening in our classrooms.  There is a big focus on strong English Language Development instruction.  “It should be the noisiest time of the day!” says the teachers and the kids are making it happen with songs, chants, choral responses, partner talk and using complete sentences in their responses.  Lexington is getting kids to read and write like All Stars with the Columbia Teachers College Reading and Writing Programs. Reading at their independent level is helping our kids apply high level comprehension strategies.  Students are also showing their learning with personal goals in both programs.  Look out…Here Comes Lexington.
