The Middle Update 11/21/21

 A short, but important week this week!  I'm looking forward to 2 great days of learning and culture building.


Resource of the Week

The latest Ed Leadership magazine focuses on what Hattie found to be the most impactful teaching attribute, "collective teacher efficacy".  The article this week looks at one CRITICAL element of self-efficacy...a great read from a great resource.

Assembly on Tuesday Afternoon

We'll be having our End of Quarter 1 Celebration Assembly on Tuesday afternoon.  Please dismiss students to the gym at 2:40.  7th and 8th grades will not have WIN time on this day.  We'll still plan to have electives on Tuesday for 5th and 6th grades, but we'll be shortening them up a bit (details to be shared on Monday am).  

We'll need one representative from each Homeroom to participate in a Musical Chairs competition...winning homeroom will get to house the Carelli Cup until our next competition.  If you have the Carelli Cup, could you please bring it to the office sometime tomorrow?

Sharing Excellence

Another post to share cool, engaging learning taking place in our classrooms.  Thanks Mrs. Rogness.

Poynette Math Team Strikes Again!

Poynette Middle School competed at the #Math Matters Competition in WI Dells on Tuesday Nov. 16th.  Each grade, fifth through eighth, brought a team of five students, and competed against eleven or twelve other districts.  Congratulations to the 8th grade team for taking first place, and two 8th graders also placed individually.  Congratulations to Jameson M. for taking 1st and Emma L. for taking 3rd.  Poynette also had two 5th graders place individually.  Congratulations to Jackson O. for taking 1st and Max G. for taking 3rd.
