With our focus on Academic Conversations, we read a GREAT article (HERE) about modeling conversations with our middle school students. It is SO common for our students to NOT know how to have conversations but focused on texting and mumbling to everyone. There are 8 easy ways to model getting students to even HAVE conversations in additional to adding their evidence and opinions.
We are in an ATTENDANCE competition! We are are competing with Cordelia Hills, Oakbrook and Nelda Mundy in an attendance competition from September 12- 23 (September is attendance awareness month) to see which school has the BEST percentage of enrollment over absences WINS and the principal of that school site gets to embarrass themselves in front of all of the other schools! I have to say, I really am excited for this and have NO PROBLEM with making a fool of myself, as you all have learned =) Now, I just need to drag Christine into it!! LET'S DO THIS GVMS!!
