PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear 8th Grade Families,
Over the last few weeks, I have met with groups of 8th grade students during Primetime to continue to introduce a new award we are promoting at Bidwell this year: The Legend Award. If you take a minute to click on the links below, you will get a pretty good idea as to why we want to promote this award and what a student has to do to earn Legend status.
The short version is that we want to create another level to which students can aspire and be recognized for their contributions to our school and to our community. Just like some teachers and coaches get remembered and talked about year after year because of the extraordinary difference they made in the lives of others, those same teachers and coaches talk about some former students year after year because of the extraordinary difference they made in their classes, their teams, their schools. Just like those teachers and coaches are legendary, those students also become legendary. We want to celebrate and promote that kind of Legend status for our Pioneers.
I hope you take a few minutes to discuss this award with your family and that your student considers striving for Legend status!

NOVEL DISCUSSION
Mrs. Jimmerson's 6th grade English participated in a Socratic Seminar about the classroom novel. In a Socratic Seminar activity, students help one another understand the ideas, issues, and values reflected in a text through a group discussion format. Through this type of discussion, students practice how to listen to one another, make meaning, and find common ground while participating in a conversation.
