It was truly\u00a0an amazing\u00a0experience, as I saw Kindergarten students reading, interpreting\u00a0text and reciting multiplication tables, fifth graders reading and acting out novels and performing mental math, and eight graders perform Shakespeare\u2019s MacBeth in a puppet show and solve advanced mathematical problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230524_093326-450x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230524_093326-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230524_093326-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230524_093326-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230524_093326-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In attending the program, I saw why The Gray Charter Students excel and score high on statewide tests. Gray students have consistently performed well on state testing year after year. This year, over 76% of the third grade passed the state exam. We are living in a changing world which requires children to have a good education. The foundation of learning happens in kindergarten and the lower elementary grades, leading to children that graduate from Gray Charter well prepared to attend high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s not solely academics that form the recipe for success here. Although Gray Charter has a strong emphasis on math, science and reading, the students are taught an appreciation of music, dance and new experiences like ski club and support charitable causes such as The American Heart Association\u2019s Jump Rope for Hearts program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By A Fan of Local Talk\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 OP\/ED Last week I had the pleasure of attending The Math and Readathon at The Gray School.
