My name is Mrs. Silano and I am the Reading Specialist at Lincoln Elementary. I was honored to be recognized by my colleagues as staff member of the month! As the Reading Specialist at Lincoln School, I have the privilege of working with teachers and students across all grade levels. This month I have enjoyed continuing to help our fabulous readers grow through small group reading instruction. It has also been a joy to help our third and fourth graders shine as they engage in exciting reading and writing units about the Lochness Monster and the Boston Molasses Flood. Lincoln students and teachers are the best! It is a joy to work with them each day!
As educators, it is important that we understand the complexity of our reality and that of our students. It is important to allow open conversations with the understanding that black and brown students may experience and interpret issues differently.
