Our Plan for Implementation:What You Can Expect During the First Nine Weeks of School
Our school is implementing the Thinking
Maps.
We want to cultivate
students into better learners,
writers, and thinkers.
Map Memos will be sent home to keep
you informed of which Map we are
covering and provide suggestions for home use of the
Map.
We believe in the power of visuals and patterns for
the brain (remember the group
quiz)!
Students will learn the Maps and use them as part of classwork and
homework.
Be prepared for your children to
AMAZE you!
