During its meeting on May 21st, the ConVal School Board expressed its support for Francestown to shift from traditional grade-level instruction to multi-age instruction. This is in alignment with the District's Strategic Plan. FES plans to instruct students in two grade bands (K-2 & 3-4) as a pedagogical philosophy vs. a financial decision.
This model is based on the idea that each student develops academic skills at their own pace. Students will receive instruction based on where they are academically instead of based on chronological age. We have been using this model successfully throughout the year during our intervention blocks and now we are expanding it to the whole day.
Students will be instructed using a team approach, with three educators primarily responsible for each grade band. There is a lot of flexibility in this model and the goal is to provide instruction for each student in such a way that they are challenged, but not frustrated.
We will be holding two informational sessions for anyone who is interested in what this will look like for students, teachers, and families next year. Please join us on June 6, at either 3:45 or 5:30 in the FES Library.
Please let us know if you need childcare in order to attend by calling the office 547-2976.

Thanks to the ConVal ATC department, FES fourth grade students spent some time in the Curiosity Cube. This is a mobile science lab that has been developed by MilliporeSigma and travels the country to deliver science lessons to thousands of children. The Monadnock Ledger-Transcript reported on this and FES staff and students were featured in the article.
On May 12, 2019 Charlotte from FES earned runner-up in the Elementary School Division poetry contest sponsored by the Peterborough Poetry Project. Congratulations, Charlotte!
The mission of the Peterborough Poetry Project is to promote the writing, reading, and thinking of poetry as part of everyday life. What does that mean? Writing poems is a way to have fun while sharing observations and insights with other people or just saving your poems to ponder later.
