📚✨ Saturday Spotlight: Literacy Training Success! ✨📚
This past Saturday, Thomasville City Schools proudly hosted a paid professional literacy training, funded through a literacy grant, for our daycare workers, Pre-K, and kindergarten teachers — and it was phenomenal! 🙌
With nearly 50 passionate educators in attendance, the training focused on implementing the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum in early childhood classrooms. Participants walked away energized, empowered, and excited to bring new strategies to life for our youngest learners! 🧠💡
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and to those who made this valuable opportunity possible. Together, we’re building a stronger foundation for literacy, one child at a time. 💛🐾
