2025–26 Writing Initiative: Think • Ink • Pair • Share

We’re excited to introduce our schoolwide writing strategy for this year: Think • Ink • Pair • Share — a simple, powerful routine that helps students build clear ideas, stronger writing, and meaningful peer connections.

How It Works:
🧠 Think – Students reflect on a prompt
✍️ Ink – They write down their ideas
🤝 Pair – They discuss with a partner
📣 Share – Ideas are shared with the class

Encouraging confidence, clarity, and collaboration while accelerating writing in every classroom! ✏️
