Middle School Governor's Cup
Welcome to Middle School Governor's Cup and 6th Grade Showcase!
We are embarking on a great adventure of studying, practicing, and working to become the very best, most competitive team we can be.
Study/Practice Sessions Beginning Oct. 25:
No matter whether your interest is test taking or quick recall, we will all practice together for now. We will run several Study/Practice sessions a week. They will function differently than practices in the past did. We will not spend the entire time on the buzzers, nor will we just keep taking tests. We will begin to create study materials like those that state champion schools are using. Please attend as many as your schedule will allow. The schedule for 2nd quarter is attached.
Daily from 7-7:30: Breakfast Club Study Group with Mrs. Gilbert. Bring your breakfast and come study every morning until Community Meeting time.
Wednesdays and Thursdays until 4 (or whenever you need to leave) in Mrs. Gilbert’s room. ESS bus will run at 3:40.
Fridays during Extensions if you select that as your class! Please consider it!
FPS with Ms. Bennett- 7/8 on Monday, 4/5 & 6 on Wednesday. (If you are doing FPS, Ms. Bennett will provide more info. This is just an FYI!)
Supplies You Will Need
1 ½ to 2 inch binder
Two Pocket folder
1-2 packs of Index Cards
Snack Situation
I would love for parents to donate bottles of water, snack sized chips/crackers, fruit, mints, etc., for students to enjoy after school. As the mom of three team members, I will cover the first two weeks of practice after fall break. After that, I will either accept cash donations or food donations to keep the food coming.
