Bright Success

Our Math and Reading Intervention Teams help students find learning success this school year!

Mrs. Samantha Tipton leads the Math Intervention Team—also known as The Math Squad—alongside Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Schmidt. This dynamic trio is implementing a research-based program designed to help students fill in gaps in their mathematical understanding. Through a variety of engaging and hands-on activities, they are helping students strengthen their number sense and build fluency in math. Their work is transforming challenges into confidence, making concepts that once felt difficult much more approachable. Thanks to their dedication and innovative instruction, students are gaining the skills and confidence they need to succeed in math.

We can’t forget the Three Amigos that make up the Reading Intervention Team. Lead teacher Mrs. Erica Book, Mrs. Dawn Winkel, and Mrs. Penny Charles spend their day helping students learn the foundational skills of reading. They work in small groups kindergarten through fifth grades working on phonemic awareness skills, phonics, fluency, and reading comprehension. As a team, they work collaboratively with classroom teachers to implement a program that meets the needs of ALL students. They want students to find joy in reading and have the confidence they need to succeed. Their favorite part of their job is working and building relationships with students, the excitement when they see the “Ah-Ha” moment, and when students discover new things through books!

Thanks to these amazing teams who help students build their math and reading skills!
