Extracurricular Activities
Middle School Academic Team
Academic Team practice attendance has become very sporadic. While I understand that students are involved in multiple activities, I am frustrated that I can't get consistency in our practices. Therefore, I am making the following changes:
- We will practice on Mondays when Beta does not meet.
- We will practice on Wednesdays when Y Club does not meet.
- We will practice EVERY Thursday.
This week, we will practice Wednesday and Thursday.
Next week, no practice.
Week of December 3: Thursday
Week of December 10: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
Week of December 17: No practice
After Christmas break, we will practice on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays as students are able to attend. Our District competition is January 19.

More Services
Primary Talent Pool : I have started introducing brain teasers and logic puzzles from first grade up and the kids are loving them! I think first and second graders may begin to read a book as a group, and second graders will be challenged to learn and recite their multiplication tables to me. Third graders are really digging KET's News Quiz every Friday. We learn a lot, get to be a little competitive, and come up with new ideas for ways to make the world better. So exciting!
4th Grade- We are digging into our entrepreneurial projects and learning to code for building an app. If anyone has experience with developing an app, let me know!
