📚✨ Introducing our WIN Room!✨📚

WIN stands for *What I Need!* As part of our MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) initiative, students receive targeted support in small groups to strengthen their skills in reading and math. 💙

Our WIN lessons are centered around areas of need identified through NWEA assessments, helping us provide focused instruction that meets students where they are and supports their individual growth. 🌱

Through small-group learning, students have opportunities to practice new skills, build confidence, and grow as learners. We’re proud of the hard work our students put in every day! 🌟
