This week in Advisory students used the time to get caught up on their core classwork. Some used the time to work on their listicle, others completed Delta Math assignments, and some were pulled for WEB training.
Pop Up Toasts!
8th grade students will be writing a toast, reflecting on their Kindergarten through 8th grade experience. It is one of the ways they think back to pivitol moments while also looking to the future: high school. For these pop up toasts, we like to provide students with soda so they can raise their cup and cheers at the end of each! If you are able to donate soda, it would be greatly appreciated!
