Thompson's Talk
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
First of all thanks to 4th and 5th grade teachers for you hard work in preparing students for testing on Monday and Tuesday! I know our kids will do a great job! Thanks to the campus for trading rooms and being flexible for our testing. Irvin rocks!
I know that our teachers are being taught how to fish daily instead of just being fed daily. Teaching kids how to think is harder but has greater results than just teaching material. Seeing students discover their own learning is heart warming. Students who are taught to think will be more successful not only in class, on tests, but also in life. Happy Friday!
Ring the Bell!
Thanks to Robert Lathan for a conversation he had with a parent so her students could be in class pictures. Miracle worker.......
Kinder and 5th grades have already completed the Irvin Writing Reflection Form. Way to go!!!
We are so good we did a fire drill and a shelter in place in one day. Yay us!!! :)~
