Mr. Mosher's West High ASL students celebrate Deaf Black History month!
On Friday, JCTC hosted community partners who talked to students about how the Graduate Profile is relevant in their careers. Kudos to FCS teachers Ms. Hager and Ms. Barnhart for coordinating a valuable Ethics and Etiquette event!
JCS Custodial Services had a great day of training and certification. What a great group of learners.
Today was the MSD Cadre, session 2. It was a special day of learning and professional growth. All of our MSD Teachers (Moderate/Severe Disabilities) and at least one of their IA's attended, along with a couple building administrators. Today's focus was on effective collaboration, specially designed instruction, communication practices and fostering student independence. These MSD teachers and their teams are some impressive and dedicated individuals!
Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who are live scoring with Mr. Lu's 5th Grade Writing class at Warner today. There's no substitute for immediate, individualized feedback, and it couldn't be done without you!
5th Grade Scientists, led by Mr. Abbott at Red Oak, exploring chemical and physical reactions by making slime!
She had two choices - cap the class or move the classroom. Thanks to Kellie Sherwood, whose flexibility made it possible for more EJHS students to experience music education!
In Mrs. Grant's classroom at RED, Mrs. Tyler (Speech Therapist), Ms. Terry (Instructional Assistant) and Mrs. Erin Gullette (Occupational Therapist) work collaboratively to support students with varying learning, social and functional needs. During this specific group lesson, students were cooking a Super Bowl themed appetizer by following and reading directions. I'm sure it was yummy!
JCS loves Custodial Services and all the work they do to support a clean and safe environment.
JELV students hosted first responders for a Kindness Week lunch and Connected Citizenship example.
Christy Sexton is challenging her students to think deeply in novel ways. Today she is coaching them through model revision and an investigation to level up their understanding of how the Earth's surface changes over time. Mrs. Sexton worked with the kids to understand the purpose and steps of model revision- a real-world skill leveraged by Scientists daily.
Mr. Rundell responds to learner needs as he supports student understanding of a lab conducted earlier in the week. Students participated in discussion as they made sense of their lab experience through the lens of kinetics rules.
Another GED grad! Joseph finished the entire 8+ hour exam in one sitting...and in half the allotted time! Way to go, Joseph!
Ms. Sandlin @ BES is developing her young writers through structured peer conferencing and feedback in addition to individual teacher coaching sessions. Her peanut butter & jelly structure makes sure everyone has an opportunity for feedback
Let's take a minute to celebrate our hard working bookkeepers. They all came together today to get district updates and learn how they can better support our teachers and students. Thank you for all that you do! We truly appreciate it!
At RED, Ms. Wix (3rd Grade Teacher) and Ms. Hager (Special Education Teacher) co-taught using parallel teaching models. Students were learning to determine the meaning of words and phrases used in a text, distinguishing literal from nonliteral language. Ms. Devon (PASS Coach) was also in the classroom providing individual student support. These teachers are a dream team!
Mr. Tungate, Mr. Asher and Mr. Tingle work with students as they rotate through stations identifying species during Principles of Agriculture at JCTC West.
Between reading groups and math time Ms. Bohnett's students take a movement break for a great transition.
Mr. Neal uses the graduate profile attributes to set the stage for learning in his 6th grade science classroom. Students know which skills they are growing as well as which skills are required to be successful in the work!
2nd grade teachers at Red Oak work with students in small groups. We love to see these teaching partnerships in action.
