Assembly

Ms. Gustafson's class led the assembly this week.  They did a wonderful job of talking about what bullying is.  They helped us understand that there are many kinds.  They showed us what to look for and reminded us about what to do if there is a bully. We were not able to get the entire thing on video because the battery died but enjoy what we got!




I don't think that we got this video into the one we recorded.

New Assembly Video

This is the video that we shared with the school this morning.  The kids made this "comic book" last Friday.  It deals with how to handle a bully.  This is something that the kids, unfortunately, have to deal with often.  This is National Bully Prevention Month.  Here is the website to tell you a little more about it.  This Wednesday we are going to wear orange to show that we are trying to prevent bullying.

Enjoy!

Morning Assembly

Today we have an exciting entry into our blog.  As many of you know, the State MCA Test results came out last week.  We were all a little disappointed to learn that Salem Hills did not make its Annual Yearly Progress.  When we looked more closely at the results we saw that the students at Salem Hills did VERY well.  We improved in every area but one and even there we showed tons of progress.  As teachers we were very excited to see how far the kids came in one year and we wanted to thank them for all the work they put in.  Last year Ms. Newton challenged the kids to pass in all areas.  She said that if they did then she would get up in front of the school and do a "Happy Dance".  Here is what the kids were "treated"to this morning at our assembly.



This is the video that Mrs. Westra's class did for the assembly.  They worked really hard on it and it turned out great!  They taught us about how to be respectful, responsible and safe in the cafeteria.
