Norton Knights are taking learning to the next level! Students in Ms. Bartnick’s (3rd), Ms. Rhodes’ (K), and Ms. Ericson’s (5th) classes are diving into student teaming. By practicing academic discourse and taking true ownership of their work, these Knights are mastering the art of critical thinking. This exciting new approach is a key part of our Model of Instruction rollout. We are so proud to see our students leading the way!
