9th graders attended Youth Mental Health day yesterday at the Minnesota Discovery Center. We learned how the mind and body react to stress as well as coping strategies for managing stress and anxiety. Shoutout to Emma and Gaven for receiving the kindness award from their peers!
This week in math, students focused on place value, writing numbers in expanded form, and writing numbers in word form. 🔢
In reading, they have been working hard on identifying the main idea of passages and using details to support their thinking! 📖💡
We are so proud of all their hard work and learning this week! 🌟
Speaker Robert Hackenson Jr. is here 9/21 for an assembly on vaping with grades 7th-12th. He's a professional magician who uses illusion as a teaching tool — the magic gets their attention, the research keeps it. No scare tactics, no lecture.
Parents: ask your student about it Monday evening. Start with "was it any good?" — not "are you vaping?" A resource page for families follows this week.
