Week of 10 February

Chuc Mung Nam Moi (Happy Chinese New Year)

Lots of thank yous to start off with today.....THANK YOU TO:

• PTG for donating books to our MS classroom libraries
• Students who shared their digital projects during our Digital Learning Day
• Ms. Khoury's Advisory group for planning, organizing, and distributing flowers to EVERY MS student last week. This was part of our "pay it forward" initiative this year to create a sharing, positive middle school environment for students and teachers. 
• Our Fine Arts department for sponsoring the Band-Choir Festival this past weekend--great afternoon of music was provided yesterday

If I may....a selfish moment on my part.....last Thursday, as I wandered around the hallways, I had the privilege of witnessing students learn about and understand:

• the Enlightenment
• Lowest Common Denominators
• Amoebas..and other such tiny creatures...
• Think their way through what 13 S on the AF might mean
• Analyze literary texts
• and......personally experience a student being a self-advocate for herself...

...it was a good day indeed!

Enjoy your evening,

Rhonda Isley
