Hinckley Press Release.
On May 18-20, Hinckley Elementary School hosted researchers from California, New York and Washington State who are working on a United States Department of Education study of reading instruction. Hinckley was one of five schools in the nation selected for this study because of the reputation of its reading program. The researchers observed classroom reading instruction, interviewed administrators and teachers, and sat in on teachers’ planning meetings. The researchers reported that they were deeply impressed by Hinckley’s innovative system for providing individualized reading instruction for all students. They said that few schools in the country have developed a working system for evaluating student needs and getting individualized reading instruction where and when it is most needed.
Just more proof that I love my job and the people I work with.
On our 11th anniversary we took the kids to a Twins game. Twins lost to Braves- Kubel choked in the 8th inning on bases loaded. So the last few innings were tense. The kids had a ball (pun intended). Carson was a bit wiggly- but we kept his busy. The girls brought their pink baseball gloves just in case they caught a ball. It was a wet game- luckily our seats were covered. The new Target Field is quite impressive. The only drawback is you have to take out a loan to buy a family of 5 dinner and Twins gear! We got free straw hats though! I would like to go back sans kids to really enjoy the game- and a few beers! Can you get to work on that Brad?
