Story Submitted by Ms. Kerry Flynn, Principal of Loudonville Elementary School

October 7, 2009 - Loudonville School was honored to host educators from the Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School in China. Our guests are here in the United States as part of an exchange with the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center organized by Rosemary Harrigan.

Our guests enjoyed their visit to Mrs. Edmunds second grade and Mrs. Chittenden’s third grade classroom to observe our differentiated approach to literacy. While they teach at one of the highest ranking elementary schools in Shanghai, they are interested in developing higher level critical thinking skills and fostering creativity in their students. We were happy to be a part of this exchange.
