Well we made it through Orientation Week. I hope you all enjoyed the activities designed to enhance your GMS experience. I also want to thank each one of you for the outstanding job you did during the wrap-up activities on Friday. The entire staff appreciate the effort and leadership you demonstrated. I'm proud to be the teacher of such a fantastic group of students and look forward to changing your perspectives on learning this year.
Ideas to ponder…
Math – Think about a meaningful topic and relevant question that will be of interest to your age group. This will serve as the foundation for your upcoming data management assignment.
Literacy – I hope that our discussion around perspective and the impact it has on your learning styles stayed with you. The example we used "the King's message" should serve as an example of how people can use language and ideas to misrepresent the truth.
Finally, I hope you re-visit our discussion around the "written word". Use the mind map we created on the board to assist you in developing your critical thinking skills.
Have a super weekend! C U Monday!
