Day 39 It May Not Always Be Easy, But It Will Be Worth It

We can not believe we have spent 39 days...273 hours, in school. Hanford Dole have dedicated every minute to the implementation of blended learning. We began our week with the quote: "It may not always be easy, but it will be worth it." Our journey to blended learning have not always been easy, but each day we see why is worth it.

We appreciate the support our staff, students, parents, and community have given us in our implementation of blended learning. In our hall we have a bulletin board with the phrase..."Success is like a Puzzle: You just put the pieces together. Each staff member, student, parent, and community member plays had essential role in our journey. Without each piece, we will miss out on ensuring we providing our students with High Quality Blended Learning.

From seeing the growth in teachers to hearing students express how much they are enjoying the rotations, blended learning has impacted us all. Our teachers enthusiastically provide guided instruction to small groups, while using online educational programs like Achieve 3000, Smarty Ants, and Dream Box to assist in instruction. Students in fifth grade are walking down the hall speaking in different languages using Rosetta Stone. 

Beginning blended learning have been hard for many of our staff and students, but we are seeing so many positive things from it's implementation. We will continue to embrace blended learning and implement high quality blended learning at Hanford Dole. 

IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE A BOBCAT!
