Up and Coming

What is coming up on the GT Team?

Zero Free Day: this is a day for kids with no zeros on any of their assignments for all of their core classes. We will be going to Westgate bowling on Feb. 11 from 8:30-10:45. The cost for the trip is $4. This price will pay for 2 games and shoe rental.

Reading Olympics:
The librarian and our literacy coach are starting a program within our Inspire classes with a book reading competition.

The Inspire that reads the most books from Feb. 8th to March 8th will win $200 toward their classroom library. We need to be thinking of an olympic athlete we would like to have as our classroom athlete. Every time the atlethe wins a medal we earn medals for our class.

The person who reads the most books in their Inspire will win the following:

Top Reader: $5 bookstore gift card

2^nd: $3 to McDonalds

3^rd: $2 to Baskin Robins

When they have read a book during Inspire they get their name entered in the drawing in the IMC for a chance to win more prizes. For each book read we are also earning medals toward our overall goal.

We will be explaining more of this during INSPIRE!!! Let's get ready to read and win the Olympics!

The End of Term is Coming Up...

Happy New Year!
The end of the 2nd term is quickly approaching. January 20th is the last day to turn in any missing work from any of your classes. Exams will be held Wednesday, January 20, Thursday January 21, and Friday January 22. These days will all be 1/2 days for students. Students will be getting exam review information approximately 1 week before the actual exams.

Zero Free Day: students will have an opportunity to participate in Zero Free Day after the 2nd term is over. In order to participate, kids need to have all missing assignments in by Wednesday January 2oth. We are thinking about going to Richmond Park on the west side to go sledding. We will keep you posted!

One more thing, I have a student teacher, Seth McNaughton, coming in this semester from Ferris State. He has a strong background in both math and science. Hopefully you will all get to meet him during student led conferences in March. Welcome Mr. McNaughton!
