We are thrilled to announce that this week marks the beginning of our S.O.A.R. program for students in grades 1 through 6 at Lincoln Elementary & Montessori School! This transformative initiative is designed to enhance our nurturing environment and empower our students to reach their full potential.
Your child participated in their first differentiated group session this week, where they engaged in focused, data-driven activities tailored to their unique learning goals. All groups were formed using student data to ensure that each child receives the academic and social-emotional support they need, aligned with Colorado State Standards. This structure allows students to collaborate with peers and make meaningful connections as they explore their growth.
Here’s a brief overview of what the S.O.A.R. program encompasses:
Support: Our exceptional educators provide mentorship and guidance, ensuring that every child feels valued and heard. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all students.
Opportunity: By combining the strengths of both traditional elementary and Montessori programs, we offer an enriching environment where students can discover and develop their interests. This commitment includes exciting extracurricular activities and innovative enrichment programs.
Achievement: The program focuses on both academic and social-emotional achievement. We differentiate instruction to meet the unique needs of every learner, ensuring that each child receives the targeted support necessary to flourish.
Resilience: Building resilience is essential. Our program empowers students with the skills to overcome obstacles, learn from setbacks, and cultivate a growth mindset, equipping them to face future challenges with confidence.
Each student will attend two 45-minute S.O.A.R. sessions each week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At the end of this first 6-week session, students will have the opportunity to share their work and accomplishments with you, celebrating their growth and achievements.
Your child will come home with a description of their S.O.A.R. group today, providing insights into their session's focus and goals. We believe that this program will inspire your child to embrace their learning journey and soar to new heights!
