News from Elder's Desk
After the first week back from spring break, I can definitely feel the spring energy at AMCHS. It is hard to believe there are only nine weeks of school left. We must continue to hold ALL students to the same expectations, goals, and procedures that we have in place--Put your best foot forward!
If students are restless in your classroom, let me encourage you to be creative, be courageous and provide the appropriate level of challenge to improve student engagement and positively impact learning. You have permission to do what it takes to maintain a high level of learning. Be willing to incorporate movement in your lessons through, song, music, or dance, change your setting, or think outside the box to communicate information in a meaningful way.
Driven by Purpose~
