So much for the groundhog giving us an early spring. I hope everyone dug out ok and are safely back in a home with power. Last week we did our first Academic CMT Switch. Students switched classes for most of the day on Thursday, going between classes focused on reading, writing, and math skills. We’ll be doing this again next Thursday as well and then one more time the week after vacation. Since Friday was a day off for the blizzard, students will take the science and spelling test on Monday. Enjoy the February vacation!

 

 

Upcoming Events

February 18-22 – February Vacation

February is a short month – only 15 school days this month. When we return to school in March, students will be greeted by the CMTs. As a way to help them prepare and relieve some test anxiety, our team will be doing an Academic Switch one day a week during February for a total of three sessions. Students will switch classes on our team, visiting each teacher to work on a specific skill. This is a fun way for students to explore switching classes, hear from different teachers, and get a little CMT confidence. Library classes have ended for the year. From this point forward students will be attending Health Class. The library will still be accessible if students want to check out books.
