This year in Ms. Lynch's class students are taking RISE to a whole new level. Students are embracing RISE core values on a classroom bulletin board. Every month students will be able to answer a question about that month's core value. For the month of September, students discussed, shared, and wrote written responses to the question, "What does RISE mean to me". Ms. Lynch's second graders are not only deepening their understanding of core values but also fostering a positive and supportive classroom community.
