A Curricular Conversation: Excerpts vs. Full Texts

The ELA debate continues without clear consensus on where teaching is trending and how school librarians factor into the equation.

On Oct. 20, CCS celebrated National Day on Writing, encouraging students to think about the many reasons we put pen to paper. From telling stories and sharing ideas to expressing emotions and connecting with others, writing is so much more than a classroom skill!

From the page to the stage. ✍🏽🎭 #WhyIWrite For National Day on Writing, we’re looking back at last year’s Black History Month presentation, written by our principal, Mr. Hawkins, alongside DAMS students. Writing is part of our students’ lives in the classroom and onstage.
