Happy October!
The first month of school is complete and the students are doing great! We are still working on our listening skills, especially during Unified Arts. There is homework every night, M-Th, and there is a homework/classwork sheet in the Home/School Communicator. Here is a link to see the sheet. You need to sign the sheet every night. For right now, math is the only homework unless your child is in band or chorus. Students NOT in band or chorus read during that time, so they don't have to read at night. Band and Chorus students need to make up the reading at night.
Once a month, the Middle School will be gathering together to recognize students who demonstrate our Core Values. Here is a slide show that defines our Core Values. Link to Slideshow During the last 2 weeks, we charted what these values look and sound like in the classroom. My hope is that the students will recognize when they or others are demonstrating these values. Tomorrow is our first gathering. Students receiving "shout outs" will be called up and receive a letter and ticket. At the end, 10 tickets will be chosen and those students will receive a goody bag. In one of those goody bags, there will be a GGG sticker. Whoever gets that sticker will be able to order something off of the GGG website.
