Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year!

One of the core values here at Manitou Springs Elementary is our desire to grow the WHOLE CHILD. From nurturing staff and classroom settings, to the Core Knowledge Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science curricula, to hands on learning experiences and field trips, authentic learning continues to strengthen and deepening content for all students each and every day.

Extension and enrichment or teacher collaboration will take place at every grade level. Sometimes this looks like a whole-group lesson I go into the classroom to share. Other times this is a consistent pull-out where I work with a specific group of students to take learning to the next level and apply it to authentic activities. By partnering with teachers, I will continue supporting regular curriculum to help make learning more vivid and meaningful. Together, we will help your child reach new skill levels and build personal interest to hold themselves to more productive standards!

GATE Celebration for 3rd,4th,5th Reading and Math classes

Come join us
for a Celebration of Learning 
on Monday, May 23rd from 5:30 to 6:30 pm 
in the MSES Commons area!

These amazing math enrichment and reading class students will be demonstrating math activities and learning products of their hard work during our class time together.  I have encouraged 3rd and 4th grade students sharing biography displays to bring a prop or costume accent (or even fully dress as the person) to enhance the communication about their researched person or people. 

During the hour-long celebration, we will rotate demonstrators so all students can visit the various projects and tables of other students.  We will also have healthy snacks and drinks available.  If possible, please take a few minutes to complete an End-of-the-Year Parent Survey to help us continue building our enrichment program.  You may even take it home and return it before the last day of school.  We would love constructive feedback about GATE opportunities this past year and "dreams" for what you would like to see as part of future classes or program additions!
