As I walked the halls this week in an empty and silent school, I've had the opportunity to reflect on this past school year and all of the amazing things that took place.
Coronado has had a great year! New additions to our campus this year include new cafeteria tables, a new playground, and two new copy machines!!! All of which have been a huge benefit and blessing to our students and staff.
This year we also adopted a new reading intervention program that aligns with our reading curriculum, called mClass Intervention. It has been fun watching students progress in their reading skills throughout the year.
We had two very successful family curriculum nights this year! Reading Under the Stars took place in October and Family Math Night took place in April. Both nights were well attended and it was great to see all of the community support for our school.
Mrs. Tara Crosby did a fantastic job again this year, putting on a total of 24 music programs. Two for each class, one in December and one in May. They were well attended and the students worked so hard and performed so well.
With the help of Regina Hitchcock, we were able to purchase quite a bit of garden stuff and teachers and students had fun helping to grow things in our garden!
We also had a lot of fun celebrating the little things this year, like Red Ribbon Week in October, encouraging students to stay away from harmful substances, 2's Day on Tuesday Feb. 22, 2022, and Dr. Seuss's Birthday on March 2nd.
One other fun addition to our school year was our Caught Bee-ing Good assemblies. When students or staff members caught students being good, they gave them a ticket and each quarter tickets were drawn and prizes were handed out to our wonderful students!
Our AASA scores came back and our students excelled! We beat the state average in both ELA and Math. In ELA, 52% of our 3rd graders were proficient or highly proficient. The state average was 41%. In Math, 86% of our 3rd graders were proficient or highly proficient. The state average was only 39%. I am beyond proud of our students hard work and all of the their teachers from kindergarten thru 3rd grade!
