From the Middle: Week of Dec. 18

Midmester Signup:

Midmester is coming back to the Middle School on March 26, April 3-6, April 10-13.  Students are getting excited to see the new courses offered this year as well as join in some of the past courses.  All students saw to the course offering book and began to choose classes they were interested in last week.  Teachers continue to use professional development to get courses ready and make them enjoyable for the students.  PBL uses a driving question to spark student interest and then asks the students to come up with a way to solve the real-world problem in a new manner.  It is fun to watch and our students are getting better at demonstrating creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking.  Below are links to the Midmester video from last year and the course offering book for this year.

Spotlight of the Week- Mrs. Remmen:

Ms. Remmen is an Instructional Strategist teacher at New Hampton Middle School.  She helps students with varying academic and social needs.  She is a very energetic and passionate teacher that is always trying new things to help her students see success.  This past week, Ms. Remmen had her intervention students visit Ms. Rosonke's classroom and read to students.  During Ms. Remmen's intervention students have been focusing on reading with expression and purpose.  Students have been building confidence and working hard at implementing the strategies learned during intervention.  All students enjoyed the outcome as you can see below.
