Wolf Howl to our admin. for the December calendar- treats, fun themes and lots of jean days! Thank you!

Wolf Howl to Jaime for leading the Sunshine Committee in providing breakfast yesterday.
To Shannon Jones for having such a fun lesson for 6th graders that was all about pantomime. At the beginning of class, students were given a type of animal. All of the animals had to find each other and stand in a group together, but they weren't allowed to talk to get into their groups - only act. Snakes....elephants....you get the idea!
To Billy Krause for a great bowling lesson. It is so refreshing to be able to see kids just being kids and having a good time together. Coach Krause can break the steps to bowling down so well that he was able to get me to knock a few pins down!
Bailey howls to everyone at CTMS for helping her survive her first semester of teaching!! Especially Sherri Golliver for answering ONE MILLION questions. And Beth Petty for being the best mentor teacher ever last year!! :)
Nikki Leonard for her basketball lesson on how to do a layup. It brought back a lot of memories! Her girls are very supportive of one another, and it is not by accident. It's an intentionally built culture.
Tabetha howls Alex thank you for the December calendar! It was so nice being able to wear my jeans! Especially this week since I've been sick! Thank you! :)
Tabetha sends out a screaming howl to Brooke Teeter for all of her help with DMAC and lesson planning! Tabetha appreciates Brooke celebrating her earning her Master's degree during this busy season.
Tabetha howls for the awesome coaching staff and the wonderful support they have given her!
Tabetha sends a loud howl to Kate for the amazing wrapping job she and the pals did!!
Tabetha howls for the amazing staff and coaching family she has here at CTMS. She loves working with such kind and caring individuals.
Howl to Heath McKay for his work with his math students. He had a great lesson on order of operations in which he employed every questioning strategy he could think of to draw the answer of out the students. And the entire time he was operating with the patience of a saint with a particularly difficult student.
Howl to Beth Petty for her completely differentiated test review. Students could get feedback, self-evaluate, and then make a choice on which type of review to do in order to prepare for the test.
How to Maria Skrukrud for getting her students to apply their understanding of the Spanish language. Students had the opportunity to work collaboratively to make complete, proper sentences.
Howl to Jerry Schroeder for his business lesson on how important it is to understand the needs of your customer and being able to address the features, advantages, and benefits of the product you are selling. Students had to integrate that information into a two-minute sales pitch.
Howl to the entire CTMS staff: Thank you all for such a great first semester. Take a long, well-deserved break and recharge!
Alex howls Tris Rapp for an exciting, engaging review that she did with her 7th period class. Students worked really hard as a team to win the quizlet activity!
Dave sends a rip roaring howl out to the world's most patient teacher, David Couras, for his patient endeavors to get blood from the turnips.
Brooke gives a LOUD wolf howl to Tabetha who will be graduating tomorrow from UNT with her masters in education! I am so proud of you!
Brooke gives a thankful howl to Brendon for helping contact a parent this week about technology issues.
Grimes howls out to Kate Burkhart! Her generosity has me all warm and toasty in a yearbook sweatshirt!
Dave sends a huge recognition to Jaime and the Sunshine Committee. Not every school has a Jewish Sunshine Chairman who appreciates the magic of this season; regardless of faith and form. That is real diversity and tolerance in action.
Dave sends a huge thanks to Rachel Smith for opening her beautiful home and being such a gracious hostess.
Lyndee howls for Lisa Grimes! She stepped in at the last minute and helped me get a student voice survey created to give to students after exams. The thought didn't cross my mind until 6:15 in the morning on Wednesday. She helped me and had it all set up for me to send out to my classes by 8:00 a.m! Thank you for being available even in the early hours!
Lyndee sends out a Merry Christmas Howl for Chris Hrenko and Heath McKay! Y'all, these guys are truly amazing at what they do for our kids! I am blessed to have them in my room at different times throughout the day!
Lyndee howls for the CTMS Staff and Admin! I am so thankful to work at a place where there is support and kindness all around. It is truly a blessing in my life to work with all of you! Each of us brings different strengths to our pack! My 6th grade team and my Math team...I appreciate each of you and all you provide for our kiddos, the support, and the LAUGHTER! ! I love our Wolf Pack Family! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Enjoy the break!
