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!

8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.mm.

If you are an Instant Challenge Appraiser, would like to become one, or are a Team Manager who is interested in seeing how other teams do Instant Challenge, come appraise at South Metro's Instant Challenge Day. During this training you will get to work directly with teams and come out prepared to Appraise Instant Challenge at tournaments. You will get to observe how several teams solve the same challenge.

Please let Debi Tipton know if you plan to join the Instant Challenge Appraiser Training: debi@kokorophotography.com

Reminder: if you are a team manager or parent, you cannot Appraise the Challenge your team or child is solving, but you are welcome to appraise any other challenge. If you would like to Appraise Instant Challenge, you can volunteer for a tournament that is after your team's or child's tournament.
