Day in the Life of an Elementary School Student
Molly is a first grade student at Passaic Arts & Science Charter Elementary School
Molly logs into her Class DoJo account and views the morning announcements from her school administration and teacher welcoming her to the new school day. The Passaic Panther Pledge song plays, and Molly sings along to it joyfully. The morning announcements and Panther Pledge help Molly settle in for the day. Molly sees her schedule and assignments in English (Word Study today), Math, and Art. For Word Study, Molly’s reading A-Z comprehension level has risen from an already impressive level “R” to a level “Z” over the past 6 months.
