Teachers will have their 3rd session with district staff on
differentiation or how to make sure that every student in each class has the
content delivered to them so they understand it. Teachers have learned that there’s different
ways to do this – by varying the amount of time given, by altering the
classroom environment, to chunking the amount of work and when it’s due. This is part of our on-going professional
development to implement effective classroom instructional strategies to ensure
every student is successful.
We have two groups of students who will be participating in field trips
to Waimea Valley lo’I patches this week Tuesday and Friday. They’re going to be asked to do a performance
task that will integrate science, reading, writing, and math concepts; this
project is being sponsored by Academy 21.
Finally on Friday our VidRoc math students will be launching their
rocket in Kekaha, starting approximately at 8:30 am. We’re hoping to stream it live along with
student commentary from VidRoc participants.
Garden Island newspaper will be sending a reporter to school this
Wednesday to interview students; be sure to check the paper later this week for
the story.
Have a great week everyone!
