Positive Messages to Students:
The fifth grade students have been reading the book Wonder as part of the ELA program at NHMS. As many of you have seen, it is now a newly released movie. The message of the book features Auggie, a fifth-grade boy born with a facial deformity, focusing on the importance of kindness, tolerance, and acceptance. Students then took the message from this book and wrote 5 positive comments for other classmates and placed them on each other's lockers. This was a very positive activity for our students and gave them a chance to practice the message of the movie.
Spotlight of the Week- Mrs. Gilbert:
Mrs. Gilbert is a special education teacher at the middle school. She helps to support a variety of students and builds skills for them to be successful. Each year, staff work on professional goals to become better at the art of teaching. This year, Ms. Gilbert has been focusing on reflection of practices within her classroom and networking with other teachers to build a professional network. Many times in education, teachers can become very specialized and it is hard to share ideas with each other within a building or district because there are few people in a similar position. Ms. Gilbert has began a blog that she is sharing with other educators and families about what is happening in her classroom. Check out all the great things Ms. Gilbert is doing for our students!
