Classroom Visits/Academic Conversations
Earlier in the week, I had the pleasure of visiting Ms. Whiteside's 9th grade English class as well as Ms. Smith's 11th grade English class. Both classes were full of students working hard fully engaged in the lessons. We are using the Springboard curriculum in our 9th, 10th, and 11th grade English classes. ECHS students are having a great deal of success and are truly ready for college English courses.
A point of emphasis at ECHS in all our high school classes is having high levels of academic discourse in our lessons. Both classes I visited this week had students engaged in academic conversations where students not only responded to each other, but built on each others ideas and provided counter arguments.
Upcoming Dance
*ECHS Student Leadership has started a Twitter account. Here is the first tweet:
The last day to buy tickets for the Glow Dance on the 27th is Wednesday the 24th. Get a form from Mrs. Williamson in room 1635 and get your tickets from Mr. Pizzo. It is $20 or $10 w/ ASB. @PizzoJohnpi @pwmmson @QuintenVoyce @FSUSD_ECHS
An announcement has been made to the students in class as well. Dance tickets need to be bought by Wednesday at lunch. Students can pay with cash or check (with driver's license #) and need to submit the payment along with their permission slips. A 2.0 GPA is required to attend.
I am looking forward to seeing a lot of the ECHS students Saturday night at the dance at RHS.
