The Middle Update 12/22/17

It's time for Winter Break.  It felt like a great week with solid effort from students all around the building.

Article of the Week
The article this week takes a closer look at projects.  The article highlights how teachers can facilitate a project experience for our students that can prove to be very effective in all aspects of the project experience.

Holiday Concert
Kudos to Mr. Hazard and Mrs. Graeve for orchestrating another outstanding holiday concert.  The gym was packed the many talents of our students were on display.  An impressive night for our community


Literacy Event
Special thanks to our Literacy Committee (Mrs. Rogness, Mrs. Maurer, Ms. Laufenberg, Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Morrissey) for their work in making our building-wide literacy event a huge success.  An idea that came up in our early December meeting came to fruition on Friday.  I was able to visit each room, and it was great to see the positive interactions between the students centered on books!  Thanks for all of your work in prepping our students for this opportunity.

Duty for the next week of School
