This school year has been an exiting adventure with the new LSEM programs taking place at Trinity and Holy Ghost Lutheran School in Monroe, MI. Both schools have fully embraced the programs.

The resource room at Trinity was in full swing by the third week of school! Our teacher, JoAnn Burke, works with students in the mornings four days a week. She teaches two math classes and a reading class, working primarily with first and fourth graders.

JoAnn’s classroom has become the place where students receive extra attention in a small group setting to achieve specific goals in their learning. We use different kinds of technology to enhance student learning in the classroom. The students have been excited about the contests that are happening with Moby Max – a software that finds and fixes learning gaps through personalized lessons. It’s amazing how much time they will spend learning when they are competing against one another or another classroom!

The greatest rewards of the LSEM program come from the comments from the students stating they are finally understanding math and reading concepts, and parents thanking JoAnn for helping their child because they are seeing positive improvements with them.

JoAnn reports that her students are doing great things and making wonderful progress. “I am truly blessed to be a part of such an amazing ministry.”
