My name is Sarah Matias, and this is my first year at ACES! I am the Intervention Specialist and one of my roles is to coordinate a special time of the day called WINN. WINN stands for What I Need Now. It is a 30 minute block in grades K-4 where we take an “all hands on deck” approach to provide students who need further support in reading and math the targeted instruction they need, as well as extension projects and technology tasks for those students who exceed the curriculum benchmarks in reading and math. In my role, I also am able to support students during the WINN blocks, and this year I am supporting students in the ELA classrooms in grades 3 and 4. I have a passion for teaching reading and for helping students whom reading does not come easy to, both to believe in themselves as readers and to celebrate their successes every step of the way. All students deserve quality reading instruction and I strive to ensure this for all students here at ACES.
