During their daily Advisory period, students have been learning about and celebrating Native Heritage Month. They also had the opportunity to create a slide for our "Tanana Is Thankful" slideshow. Teachers and students work together in small groups to delve into serious issues and build empathy for one another. Next week students will continue their work on empathy as they explore healthy ways to deal with conflict and disagreements.
Tanana students will also be working on their portrait of a graduate portfolios as we move toward the end of the 2nd quarter. Each student is developing their own personal portfolio that showcases their work at Tanana and their progress toward the portrait of a graduate skills. During Advisory we will also be helping students to explore different careers and using their Renzulli profile to help them begin thinking about what they want for their future.

Mathletes of the Week!
7th Grade - Donn Hayes
Donn consistently goes above and beyond the daily requirements for math. He asks great questions and thinks things through whole heartedly. Donn has flourished this year and I'm excited to see what great things he does next semester!
~Ms. Garcia
Jacob Roberts is the mathlete of this week. Jacob shows up to my zoom to get help or just to hang out in case he needs help. While he is on my zoom, we have interesting conversations that are not math related. Even though we differ on the topic of clarinets, I still enjoy helping him. Keep me laughing, Jacob.
