A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATORS
A MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATORS
Captuing Kids' Hearts - In January, our Bowie Cubs are learning about RESPECT. Click the links below to see how you can practice at home:
Taking it home: Respect (en EspaNol)
What is Respect?
Respect is the willingness and ability to act professionally and thoughtfully with ourselves and others. Leaders can deal respectfully with opposition and provide space for both dignity and differences to coexist.
Why focus on Respect?
Respect contributes to a positive culture. People feel safe, supported, and engaged in the context of thoughtful social, emotional, civic, and intellectual interactions.
Respect decreases conflict. Respect helps us, and others, to be able to express ourselves without fear of being judged, humiliated, or discriminated against.
Respect encourages empathy. Respect helps us to understand each other and put ourselves in someone else shoes.
Respect in Action:
Teach students words have power. How we talk to others, and ourselves, can motivate or discourage, connect or destroy, hurt or heal. We should choose our words with care.
Create opportunities for group decision-making. Open dialogue engages students in a process where compromise is crucial to making decisions.
Vary protocols for classroom sharing. Frequently use open-ended questions, partner sharing, and small group activities to connect and promote understanding between students.

Parents, continue to encourage your students to use IXL at home.
IXL is designed to support students toward authentic skill mastery, and research shows this approach works. Students use IXL twice a week in their Math and ELAR classes. At the moment, we are having all student complete their IXL Diagnostic, IXL's Diagnostic is a flexible tool that reveals exactly what students know and helps you take actionable steps to foster growth at every level. IXL's Diagnostic creates a personalized action plan for each student. With these recommended skills, you have a simple way to close learning gaps and facilitate meaningful progress. Bowie Middle School purchased IXL for every student and we cannot wait to see their academic progress.
January 18 ACHIEVE3000 Update
January 18 ACHIEVE3000 Update
Dear Parents,
Dear Parents,
Achieve3000 is used in Science, Social Studies and English Language Arts and Reading classes. Achieve3000 helps your students become better readers. Students are given a LevelSet Assessment the first week of school to determine their Lexile level (reading level). When they are assigned articles to read, the articles are "differentiated" by student, meaning every students receives similar information at different reading levels. Every article has an "Activity" (Embedded Assessment) and students have two attempts to pass. When students are able to score 75% or higher on their first try for at minimum four activities, their Lexile is increased!
This week, we celebrate Mr. Stanley and Ms. Crutchfield's students along with our weekly leader!
