*** Congratulations to Coach Renquist as well! Coaches are selected in a similar fashion as the players, and she was chosen to coach in the CCGS All-State Volleyball game.
I get asked, “Why do you still have to go to professional development? Don’t you know how to teach after all these years?”
Yes! But as teachers we’re modeling that we are life long learners. We don’t like taking time away from our students but it is vital to continue to learn new and engaging strategies.
One of the strategies we learned on Monday was 4-2-1. We read a story then the students had to individually pick out the four most important things from the story, then they found a partner and had to choose the two most important things. Finally, they made groups of four to agree on the most important part of the story. Over time we will have them last step, using this information to write a summary!
Ms. Kreienheder’s Good News Call goes to Mackenzie Lopez for a multitude of reasons:
1- She has been so consistently responsible, punctual, and hard working during theater practices. She has become such an instrumental member of prop's team and their continued success!
2- After the Veterans Day Assembly, she found me and asked if I wouldn't mind mailing my mother one of the veteran pins. When I saw her later, I told her that I thought my mom would really appreciate a short note explaining how I ended up with the pin. Mackenzie wrote a very kind letter and then had her entire class sign it. I am so flattered by her kindness and cannot wait to mail it to my mom during her extended stay on base!
3- The video I had been using to play audio of the freshmen's book was suddenly taken off Youtube. Mackenzie found one without being asked, and has been playing it aloud for the class ever since. Today, the students are answering questions while they read, so Mackenzie has been pausing it so they could answer their questions. Before she presses play each time, she has been making sure all of her classmates have finished before continuing.
So much hard work and kindness from Mackenzie lately!!
Julesburg High School's Robotics Team competed Saturday, November 5th at the Robotics Competition day hosted at NJC. They competed against 7 other teams from the region and came in 3rd, just 5 points shy of making it to Regionals. We are very proud of how hard they worked to design, build, and then control the robot, as this year was a very challenging game. Great Job Robotics team!
