Keep My Students Out of Trouble

It is challenging, difficult, time-consuming and painful to try and keep my students out of trouble with me and with all of their other teachers for these last few days of school.  3 suspensions, 2 detentions, several parent calls and a parent meeting we are almost there.

We are almost there.

Thank you Jesus!

Technology with my Students

We are going to work on some mini research projects with my students.  We want to research the BP oil spill, energy drinks, the summer teen job market, and starting our own business.  We are using a gist template and a limited amount of time.

We Are a Recognized Campus

Wiggs Middle School is a Recognized Campus for the first time ever.  Yeah!  I feel real good about that.  I am very proud of our efforts and our kids.  I remember overhearing those negative people who said, "...no way in hell we're going to be recognized this year..."  I can't help but laugh out loud.  God has blessed our campus and our students.

We still need to work on a lot of different areas, but we are Recognized.  Thank you God!

Online Dictionary Assignment

My students are trying out some of the online dictionaries as a review for a vocabulary test.  We are using the sound files to hear what the word sounds like and to practice using the words in sentences.  We are having a blast listening to the different voices saying the words. Good way to practice vocabulary.

Acting on What Matters - Peter Block

I am Peter Blocking everyday.  I am too busy counting my blessings to be worried about anything anymore.  I need to plan more and visualize and actualize.  Of course I am still watchful and peaceful.

The After TAKS Party After the Test

After the TAKS tests, the kids that passed are having an AFTER TAKS party everyday.  Most of them have mentally shut down, but I am keeping it real. Busy.
