“Writing brings power to societies by making it possible to transmit knowledge with greater accuracy and in far greater quantity and detail, from more distant lands and more remote times.” Jared Diamond
Welcome to Ms. Collins First Grade in Room D-5 at Palmer Way School in National City, CA. In D-5 we work hard to meet the California Standards in Language Arts, Writing, Math, ELD, Technology, and Science. All my lessons and materials are designed to guarantee student learning strategies and mastery. I use both formal and informal assessments to monitor student learning, and to guide my instruction.
In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity- it is a prerequisite. President Obama, Presidential Address to Congress, February 24, 2009
“Good writing does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuede. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone elses head.” Malcom Gladwell (What the Dog Saw)
