V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the locker room for our Trauma-Informed team, they reviewed a check-in triage form that they developed in order to be more proactive with students that struggle appropriately handling their trauma.
The Curriculum team took the court today by reviewing completed curriculum and standards. They also started important work to make sure assessments match pacing guides and standards.
GR8 "Final 4" Leadership teams were at the top of their game today! The P.B.I.S. team completed a self assessment and worked on a flow chart surrounding discipline. Daniel Rector from M.U. was on hand to work with this team as well as facilitate a survey with the entire faculty reflecting on our current P.B.I.S. work.
Step Up Consulting facilitated curriculum work with GR8 teachers. The focus was on backward design using assessments and priority standards. This work will continue into the 2023-24 school year.
GR8 Staff Professional Development had a March Madness theme today. Teachers wore their favorite sport gear and had a lunch with fabulous concessions! Our two head coaches, Mrs. Hammers and Mr. Edington, kept their play books lively with prizes for staff throughout the day!
Softball will have their Home Opener tonight against Kingsville. First Pitch will be at 5:00 p.m. for a varsity only contest. Good Luck Tigers in your new season!
Mr. Doane's 6th graders have been busy with science experiments!!! Some students worked with a partner while others chose to work independently. All of the students were able to talk about their experiments. Some students were already making a new hypothesis
Mr. Taylor's 6th graders are studying ancient cultures and preparing for some big projects. Today, students were learning about Mayan masks and the significance of all the details and colors that were used to create their masks. Students will be creating their own unique masks with the support of Mrs. Dove's STEAM program and Mrs. Link's Art program. Finally, students will complete a research paper where they will gather information and cite sources. Ask your 6th grader about mask ideas!
Ms. Schmidli has been using the book, A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park for an interactive read aloud and as a focus for lessons practicing a variety of ELA skills. This book is extremely engaging as each chapter is written from the perspective of two 11 year-olds from Sudan set in different time periods. Students hear from a boy named Salva in 1985 and a girl named Nya in 2008. Ms. Schmidli sparked increased interest by letting her students know that these two lives connect in some way by the end of the book. Make sure to ask your 5th grader about this story!
Mrs. Harrison was using Base 10 Blocks to teach place value with decimals to our 5th graders today. She provided a new twist to the place value lessons students learned in lower elementary grades. She was able to use the document camera to easily display her modeling!
