Lower Elementary School News

We have many exciting things happening at Cowles. The Lower Elementary teachers are focused on explicitly teaching our students how to think critically while they read.  The students are learning effective comprehension strategies that they will use independently while reading a variety of genres in fiction and non-fiction.  To help facilitate this learning process, Cowles School has purchased National Geographic and Time for Kids magazines for the classrooms.  The magazines provide students opportunities to apply their critical thinking skills using quality materials with engaging content. Students have learned an important term that defines their new learning: Metacognition. Ask your child whatlower this term means to him or her!
