🖤💛 Fluency in Full Swing at @WHChestnut
Fluency is the name of the game at @WHChestnut — and it shows in every classroom, every small group, and every interaction.
From the structured phonics instruction of Fundations to the oral reading fluency focus of Heggerty, to the power of art and oral language woven seamlessly into daily learning, @WHChestnut teachers are taking a layered, intentional approach to building fluent, expressive learners from the ground up.
WHe visited classrooms where students were engaged at the table with their teachers, sounding out words, building with letter cubes, painting and creating while discussing their work aloud — every moment a meaningful step forward. These aren't just lessons. They are the building blocks of a lifelong love of literacy.
Moments like these reflect the heart of the West Hempstead Union Free School District's commitment to academic excellence, student growth, and teacher dedication. WHe are proud of every student and educator at @WHChestnut who shows up and gives their best.
Together, WHe Rise. 🖤💛
