| LTP has reinforced and strengthened many of the skills our third graders are learning in their writing class and has given students the opportunity to express their creativity through a different art form... The opportunity to focus on higher-order thinking skills such as making inferences and drawing conclusions through “reading” photographs has also greatly supplemented our school’s focus on critical thinking. We are grateful for the experience that our third graders have had with LTP this year. |
