Cool things that have happened at PMS so far this year...
"A student accelerated to 6th grade math during 1st quarter. He is a students with some social/emotional needs, so it is exciting to see him succeeding."
"I don't have the data in front of me, but it seems that there are less kids that are needing direct intervention for math than in year's past."
"I had 3 students make awesome connections to a reading on hurricanes today"
"We survived writing a formal narrative paper in 6th grade using the MLA requirements/format for the first time! We didn't use it until later last year"
"No students refused to participate in Mix It Up Day"
