Happy NY2026! We kicked off the year with another amazing professional development in Secondary ELA. I want to give another huge shout out to all of our presenters, who always do a phenomenal job. I am so grateful for your support. The ELA team could not do this without you.

Twas the last Tuesday before Christmas break, & yes 3rd grade teachers @HES_HCS were still teaching literacy standards with success criteria & learning laps w/ feedback to support partner reading & student discourse to effective questions. @ELA_HCS #hamptonproud #henryreads

So proud of these second grade Hornets for “showing what they know” in phonics today @HES_HCS. Explicit decoding & encoding strategies being taught led to great map gains in ELA for Mrs. Mimbs class. 👏 @michellewil2 @mrsj_cohen #hamptonproud #henryreads @ELA_HCS

Look at this kindergarten baby using our phonics graphic organizer to tap it, map it, graph it, write it. What a difference a year makes. @ELA_HCS @Timberridge_HCS
