We wrote recently about Certified Teacher Nicole Lane introducing anchor charts to her incoming students at the Summer Transition Program for rising 6th graders at Nathan Hale Middle School.

Here we shared about our rising 6t graders reading Ms. Bixby’s Last Day. Determined to give their hospitalized teacher a worthy "last day," three sixth-grade boys skip school and persevere on an impossible quest, deepening their friendship and discovering inner courage they didn’t know they had.

With this blog post, we share about Dr. Danita Coverson, English/TTO Math Teacher at Norwalk Public Schools, summing up these lessons and more with our rising 6th graders.

Christy Counts, an 8th Grade Language Arts Teacher at Nathan Hale Middle School, is the Lead Program Coordinator of our B.A.R.K. Afterschool Program there as well as the leader of our 6th Grade Summer Transition Program there.
