The Yuletide Villager
Week of February 26, 2018
Part 2
Staff & Teachers I left off several items
Duty Week Correction - Duty Week A
March Madness
The March Madness Events were designed to put an emphasis on EOGs. But of course, we have another whole half of our school that does not have EOGs. Never worry...
You will support all of our students work of the standards as they are in pursuit of becoming 3rd - 5th graders!
The March Madness Design
- Teachers selected or created team names.
- Grade Levels selected colors for teams
- Nevertheless, teams are not grade specific so colors only show students that they have a supporter in the building. The teams will range from K-5 on each team
- This is to create a system of equability to all.
- There will be math teams and separate reading teams giving more ways for students to be successful. We will say "...more ways to WIN!"
- The contest will start with the ELITE 8 (8 teams) but we will have a SWEET SIXTEEN as how we will display math and reading
- Students will be given challenges in each subject over a three week period.
- In order to make sure students do not give up and continue to work, we will have a leaderboard rather than working through the brackets weekly.
- The brackets will be filled out at the conclusion in order to present an element of surprise for students and a reveal at our EOG Championship.
