CELEBRATIONS!
Mirk's pottery class, where students are making their own bowls, is awesome! 🎨 It’s pretty cool that we’re able to offer this elective! 👏🍯
The 6th grade science class had the Cold Cup Challenge, and I was cheering for the girls—Girl Power! 💪👧 Not sure who ended up winning the challenge. 🏆😀
Teacher Cleo stepped in to explain and work through the math problem, and she did an excellent job!
Zane was incredibly proud of himself! He improved by 72 points! Whoop! Whoop! 🎉🙌
And when you've known them since kindergarten, it makes it even more special! 😊
NUTS-n-BOLTS
1. Thank you for sharing your updated pacing maps and data trackers with both Nicole and me.
2. I will be gone Thursday afternoon and Friday of next week. I will be attending an AWSP's (Association of Washington School Principal) meeting. I can always be reached by phone or text BUT you are in great hands; you won't even know I'm gone. :D
3. Math Diagnostic begins next week. Please read Agnes and Yaz's emails in regards to separate settings, make ups and other logistics.
4. Courageous Conversations training with Ben and Yelena will be taking place on Tuesday afternoon. We will be in Jami Eggart's classroom. Several Garrison teachers will be participating in this training.
Something to Ponder
This week's Something to Ponder are different articles to choose from:
What exactly is student voice? What does it really mean in a middle school classroom?
The episode kicks off with a discussion on what student voice truly means in the middle level educational context. The author clarifies that student voice isn’t solely about verbal communication, but includes all forms of student expression.
The power of scheduling in middle school teaming: Flexibility, creativity, and student-centered learning
Guiding Middle Schoolers to Make Good Decisions Phyllis Fagell is an amazing author!
