In years past, Mrs. Slawinski has been our ELA Teacher for grades 7-12 and our district reading specialist.
This year, our district applied for a grant to receive an Act 20 Early Literacy Coach and was approved! Mrs. Slawinski has been appointed as an Act 20 Reading Coach by Goodman-Armstrong Creek School District and Wisconsin DPI for half her role. The other half she will continue working with students as our district reading specialist and interventionist.
As our Act 20 Early Literacy Coach Mrs. Slawinski will partner with our kindergarten through third-grade teachers on how to teach phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension to help more children read at grade level by the end of the third grade.
They learned about speed, the cost of racing, the trucks, equipment, and what it takes to compete. To top it off, each student received autographed, limited-edition stickers from California Pro-2 racer Myan Spaccarelli!
The next 1-Day Training @ CESA 8 will be Wednesday, November 4th from 8:30-4:00pm
