JANUARY: REINVIGORATE
Our Minds and Spirits
MMS Media & Tech Team: Felicia Davis, Allison Long, Elizabeth Stapleton, and Michael Cline
Reinvigorate Highlight: Laura Smith
Laura Smith joined MMS last year and has been reinvigorating the Science Department ever since. Allen Stevens states, "She is highly organized and is a superb researcher and finder of all sorts of resources that we use in class and on projects. She has an energy that is contagious and keeps us on track to make sure we are focusing on the unpacking standards. She has definitely had a positive impact on our PLC this year and we are extremely happy to have her!!" David Jester, new to the MMS, shared, "As a new teacher here at MMS I REALLY appreciate working with Mrs. Smith. She is always willing and eager to help me with anything I ask and always has time to answer any tech questions I have. Her knowledge on technical issues is unsurpassed and she always has something new and exciting going on in her classroom. She is awesome!!" Finally, Dr. Gardner's words about how she reinvigorates her classroom. "Ms. Smith has a true talent for adding enthusiasm and excitement to her daily lessons. Just last week, I had a student write a note to me about how she knows Ms. Smith puts a lot of time and energy into her lessons to make them special for the students. She also works hard to recognize positive behavior and effort in the classroom, which helps to reinforce her expectations. The book "Teach Like a Pirate" states that enthusiasm separates the good from the great, and I believe Ms. Smith is a prime example of this!" Thanks for leading by example.
