Final Thoughts
1. Our Silver Teamies are wonderful to work with! They are learning to work together respectfully and demonstrate P.R.I.D.E. behaviors even when it is difficult. Thank you for sharing these students with us.
2. Students work together for maximum learning and fun. Kahn Experts work to coach peers through math concepts as they work towards their goals. It was a beautiful day for our teacher hearts!
3. As the quarter comes to a close this week, please help us all stay caught up on the work. Students who do not have all their work in by Tuesday, Oct. 15 will not be eligible to go to Andy B's. We don't want anyone to miss out!
