Congratulations to all students who have worked hard the 3rd Nine Weeks!

Ms. Gordon's ELA classes are creating PowerPoints to promote the independent reading books they've read this year. They are also creating Spinebook Poetry with their books for National Poetry month.

Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Chapman presented a literacy strategy to the LMS faculty today. Their strategy, Atwoodian Table, promotes critical thinking and analysis of the text. Teachers had the opportunity to interact with the strategy and discuss ways to incorporate it into their lessons. Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. Gordon attended literacy training with the SC Dept. of Education earlier in the year. Their presentation was based on one of the strategies they learned.
