Coach Kane R- Reading- "We were reading a book called the most dangerous game and while we were reading we highlighted the important details in the book." -Tom | Mrs. Arnold W- Writing- "In class we write notes about the topic we are learning about for the day. The notes are fill-in the blanks type of notes. We turn those into focused notes for AVID." -Valentina | Mrs. Rosenbauhm " We Collaborated with a partner during our Cookie lab, we each had two cookies and with sprinkles represent stages of mitosis. For me it helped to show the different stages of mitosis and remember what it looks like." -Brianna |

Coach Hohman C-Collaboration- "In class our teacher had us walk around the room and talk to new people and learn about places around the world. This strategy helps us with communication and it helps us learn about the world and new people." -Tran | Mrs. Cruz-O'Neal C- Collaboration- "On Tuesdays and Thursdays days we do a TRF and we present a question you are having trouble with and your group that you are is will help you figure it out. This helps us communicate with each other about academics." -Gabby | Mrs. Bobb "The notes we have been taking are clear and well written. I as a student have always struggled with notes for a while since some notes teachers do I need to re read again and again but with the notes Mrs Bobb does I understand clearly and not only that but she goes over the notes and gives us a very clear and high statement about the notes." -Elizabeth |
