NO SCHOOL

WEDNESDAY, 2/22-FRIDAY, 2/24

THE SCHOOL WILL BE CLOSED FOR OUR MID-WINTER BREAK.  

THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BEGIN WORKING ON YOUR 2ND MILESTONE, WHICH IS THE OUTLINE FOR YOUR SCRAPBOOK.  I WILL BE POSTING AN EXAMPLE OF THE OUTLINE WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK.

                                             WELCOME TO MADISHON-

         Madishon joined our classroom community this past week.  Students welcomed her with a bead greeting during morning meeting - each student handed Madishon a bead, introduced themselves, and said "Good Morning". Madishon then went to each student, handed a bead, and said "Good Morning".  I am so proud of the kids - they have brought Madishon into our "family", showed her the routines, and ropes.  Kayla will be helping her with catching up on the college project, and her table mates have already filled her in on exhibitions, math challenge, and other pertinent information.  

Madishon has put herself right into learning, sharing, laughing, and enjoying our days.

The following students passed Milestone 1 and participated in Fun Friday - many students brought their milestones in early - which I always encourage.  They were prepared with enough time to make corrections if needed.  

Morgan, Lauryn, Micah, Brianna, Madison, Khalila, K'myiah, Cameron, Kayla, Moses, Devin,and Darnishia.

I'm looking forward to seeing Milestone 2.  Students had awesome information already, based on what I saw from their research.

Devin and his Mom for bringing in snacks for the entire class.  They lasted for several weeks & were really appreciated:)

EXHIBITION REMINDER:

Milestone #2 is Due Thursday, March 22nd

This milestone is the outline for all the pages for your AMAZING PEOPLE scrapbook.

Each page will correspond  to one of the Roman numerals of the outline.  Within the next week I will post an example of the outline with information on an amazing person.  

Below you will find 2 power points of AMAZING PEOPLE scrapbooks done by former students of Mrs. Tiggs.  The Duke Ellington power point is split into 2 power points. Students are encouraged to take their scrapbook to the next level - creativity, lots of information, playing music of musicians, explaining/interpreting artwork of artists.  This is one of my favorite exhibition projects (maybe I'm a little biased since I'm a musician). Students learn so much about these amazing people and, hopefully, what they learn will influence them along the way in their own lives.
