Mid Term Reports

Students will come home with their mid-term reports today. If you have any questions please call or email. The students are all doing very well, although I suggest more studying and preparation for tests for the middle school students.. A great website with some links on test taking tips and strategies can be found at http://www.greececsd.org/academics.cfm?subpage=2044

We started implementing more brain breaks into our day. "When we take a brain break, it refreshes our thinking and helps us discover another solution to a problem or see a situation through a different lens. During these few minutes, the brain moves away from learning, memorizing, and problem solving. The brain break actually helps to incubate and process new information" (Edutopia, 2015).

Our Bible verses for this week are:

1^st & 2^nd graders:

“The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.” Exodus 14:21-22

5^th – 7^th graders:

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

I am also sending home a new permission slip for a field trip to the Life Care Center next week.

Our quote for today is from Conan O'Brien, "Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen."
