An Educator's Quote for the Week...
Ms. Riser
Ms. Riser has so many fresh and creative ways to tackle the English curriculum. Her strategies to keep students engaged are amazing and inspiring.
-Ms. Reynolds-
Mrs. Brummond
Mrs. Brummond is amazing because she found a FREE wooden table and 4 chairs for my art class AND THEN loaded them into her car and brought them to my class all by herself! My students love it and it gives them so much more room to work in my classroom My students and I are so appreciative of your thoughtfulness - You ROCK!
-Ms. Eller-
Ms. Muse & Ms. Gross
Mrs. Muse and Mrs. Gross were so helpful during my 1st Quarter "I Have a Plan" Transfer Task. They were either setting up the media center or the auditorium, so my classes could present. And if they had time, they would also watch the students and comment on their efforts. It was a long process, 73 students presented! Thank you so much for all of your support. Thank you for ALWAYS putting kids first!
-Ms. Butler-

Goes to... M!!

Thank you Mr. Weaver for being AWESOME!!!
If you were wondering...
What is the Minnie Howie Roaming Gnome Award?
This award gives us another way to recognize and celebrate each other. Minnie Howie is passed on from person to person each week.
What do you do when you receive the Minnie Howie Roaming Gnome Award?
Prominently display the award in your classroom or office. You can even brag a bit and carry Minnie Howie with you when you travel the building.
When and how do you pass Minnie Howie to the next awesome colleague?
At the end of the week, write up a short celebration blurb in which you name the next awardee and share a few things about him/her that you want to recognize and share. Send the blurb to Ms Wood for her Sunday "Week-at-a-Glance." On Monday morning, deliver Minnie Howie to the awardee.
And the cycle continues...
Brought to you by Titans Succeed / Renaissance Committee in appreciation of all that you do to make this a great place to work and learn.

Dec. 5-9: MH HOUR of CODE!!!
Hour of Code
Hour of Code is part of Computer Science Education Week (December 5 - 9). Want to learn a little about what Hour of Code is? Find a short intro video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsOIlDT145A
Computers are everywhere, changing every industry on the planet. But fewer than half of all schools teach computer science. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this. If you've heard about the Hour of Code before, you might know it made history. More than 100 million students have tried an Hour of Code.
With the Hour of Code, computer science has been on homepages of Google, MSN, Yahoo! and Disney. Over 100 partners have joined together to support this movement. Every Apple Store in the world has hosted an Hour of Code. President Obama wrote his first line of code as part of the campaign.
This year, let's make it even bigger. Please join in for the Hour of Code 2016. Email Michelle Brummond or TCTIS@acps.k12.va.us with questions.
Minnie Howard students will be able to participate through Freshman Seminar, or STEM Exploration, lunch games in the library. In the final competition on Friday, Freshman seminars with be competing for a chance to win a pizza party and movie at the King Street campus.
Thank you,Michelle Brummond
