Minimal Security Drill Practice
The students did great! When they were in their practice today, teachers gave a lesson on what we would use this drill for.
January Character Trait: Grit, Tenacity and Perseverance
What is Team Huddle at Martell?
Each month we introduce a new character trait. Today we met in Huddles! The lesson is composed of a story, activity and lesson and today's was on Grit, Tenacity and Perseverance. Please ask your child about what we talked about! At the end of the month, we come together in a student-led assembly and celebrate what we worked on that month. Students plan the assembly with myself and the student council teachers and students. It's exciting to see the kids take ownership in presenting to the school.
Attention! 5th Grade Choir!
