Presenter Luke summarizes teacher reports across grades, highlights winter events and STEM plans
Summary
Presenter Luke delivered consolidated teacher updates from preschool through high school covering literacy, math, science units, a winter wonderland event Dec. 18, a music concert, and a 5-day RISE STEM experience tied to science grades.
Presenter Luke gave a consolidated set of teacher reports covering preschool through high school, summarizing classroom activities, curriculum units and upcoming events. He said preschoolers have been focusing on letters "g and h" and basic number and name recognition; elementary classrooms are working on double-digit addition, sequencing paragraphs and holiday crafts; and middle and high school classes are studying topics from space to the Holocaust memoir Night.
"Preschool, for miss Owen has been focusing on the letters g and h for gingerbread and the houses," Presenter Luke reported during the updates. He also noted calendar items: an elementary winter wonderland on Thursday the 18th (pajama day, morning activities and an afternoon movie and treats) and a holiday concert for elementary and band students scheduled for 5:45 p.m. in the school gym. The presenter described a 5-day RISE STEM experience that will count toward science grades and highlighted English and social-studies units at the junior-high and high-school levels.
The report included details on classroom projects and assessments: third-graders were introduced to division and practiced modeling equal sharing; fifth-graders were transitioning into decimals and continued work on fractions, decimals and percents; a high-school culinary arts class will complete a cake unit culminating in entries for the Tyler Campbell Memorial Cake Bake on Jan. 9. Luke closed the presentation by inviting board members to reach out to individual teachers with questions.
