If you want to see a group of teenagers live out this quote, get to Bowling Green on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 EST. Something special is getting ready to happen! As we go through this Championship Week, let's ALL embrace this momentum and channel this positive energy toward propelling our school forward. We will have a pep rally on Friday afternoon. Go Titans!
Instructional Focus: Our focus for this month is goal setting. We begin this week by focusing on our daily goals in our classrooms . . . our Learning Targets. At MLCHS, the way we do things requires students to know what they are to learn before the lesson begins and prove that they learned it before they leave the room. We do not "fly blind" in the classroom. We will be defining what a target is and is not during our time together on Tuesday. Prior to Tuesday, take a look at this article from Educational Leadership:
Midterms: Talk to your students about the importance of studying for your midterm. Encourage study groups in any way you can. Remember, you are teaching them how to prepare for your midterm. Many have never done this before and need to learn this from you.
Grades: Parents will be checking grades this week. Carve out some time to get your grades fully updated. Remember, we do not penalize students with an excused absence. TableTop Wednesdays should be assigned to students with missing work. Is your grade book a "zero free" zone?
