Starting today, Library is all about building reading stamina for our students in K-5. Mrs. H is teaching students what it means to stay focused on reading after they pick out a book. The classes are competing against each other to see which class can have the most minutes read in their grade during sustained silent reading during Library. First prize is a free VIP tour of the Book Fair when it comes! The pictures are of Kindergarten students from 114 being super focused on their (newly acquired) reading skills!

This week 9th grade leaders are working with 8th grade students with our partners Tree Trails. Students engage in physical activities designed to build character and teamwork. Last week, 9th grade leaders were trained in how to lead these activities.
8th grade leaders presented to 7th grade about their experiences for Service as Action. Our leaders shared projects they have done in their communities and neighborhoods. Engaging with people and organizations outside of school is an important part of the IB program as they gain an understanding of local issues. Students have worked with GreenDrop, and the Womens' Animal Shelter. Other students cleaned up community centers and playing fields or interviewed soldiers about their experiences.
On Friday January 10, 7th and 8th grade students attended an assembly led by a speaker from Minding Your Mind. The students heard about the speaker's personal experience as a middle and high school student struggling with anxiety and depression. Students were able to ask some questions. This assembly is part of our ongoing work with students in social-emotional learning. https://mindingyourmind.org/
Teachers, administrators, parents, students, and Board members came together Saturday morning to serve as members of the Steering Committee for our Comprehensive Planning process.
