Advisory Update

Teachers began the week last week by guiding students through a presentation focused on coping with holiday stress and practicing gratitude. Students discussed how the holiday season can bring a mix of emotions and learned practical strategies for managing stress, such as recognizing what they can control, taking breaks when needed, and leaning on trusted supports. The lesson also encouraged students to reflect on gratitude and the positive role it can play in improving mindset and overall well-being.

Keep Collecting Pop Tabs! Last Day January 7!

We are continuing our soda tab competition in advisory to see which class can collect the most soda/pop tabs. 

We can’t wait to see which advisory will bring in the most tabs and support this special cause!

Rumor has it, Mrs. Richmond's advisory class is currently in the lead.
 

WIN

(What I Need)

ISAT Scores Improving

WIN Time & iReady MyPath

Students have switched to their last WIN group for the semester. This time they focus on Reading extension through WIN lessons. Students who still need help in Math will continue to work on Math each day. All students will work on MyPath Math on Monday and Thursdays.
Students have completed or almost completed their Winter Reading Diagnostic. Students will take the iReady Math Diagnostic in January. After all assessments are taken and data is analyzed, students will be placed in new WIN groups based on their Winter scores.
Research shows that students who spend 45 minutes on MyPath a week and who participate in iReady lessons grow more than typical on their ISAT scores each year.
Students can work on MyPath at home!!
