What Is W.I.N. Time?

"What 

I 

Need"

 
          W.I.N. stands for "what I need" and it's a set time during the day where students get instruction tailored to their individual needs.  We have both a Math WIN time as well as an ELA (English/Language Arts) WIN time daily.  We use data from district assessments and classroom observations to determine the skills each student needs to work on and then group them with students of similar needs.  Each WIN time block is a half hour outside of core curriculum instruction where they will be doing activities in a smaller group to work to strengthen their skills.  We have several math, reading, and instructional support teachers who work with our grade level, so your child may stay with their homeroom teacher, or go with one of the other teachers for WIN time.  The groups are flexible as well, so as the year progresses, your child's group may change as their needs do.   Please always feel free to contact your child's teacher should you ever have any questions.
