Article of the Week: Journeys Curriculum

Last spring, classroom teachers spent several weeks piloting new curriculum in their classrooms to help choose a new reading series for our school.  Their recommendations were forwarded to the reading committee, where the new Journeys series was chosen.  The vote was unanimous!  We loved the technology resources, support materials, and the comprehensive program.  The increased expectations with Common Core Standards meant we needed to up our game at Erie Elementary (more on that next week!).  Although I won't be using the new curriculum as a classroom teacher this year, I am excited to use the support materials with small groups, and I can't wait to see our amazing classroom teachers implement the program.  My 6th grade daughter has used this program since 2nd grade with outstanding results.  Good things are in store for us this year at Erie Elementary!  Read more about the Journeys program HERE.
