Warm Up Wednesday!

Last week we kicked off our Warm Up Wednesdays!  We had a kick off assembly with two special guests, The Eagle and “Justin Bieber".  Ask your student about this exciting assembly.  Every Wednesday from now until the MAP test we will be focusing on specific test talking strategies and MAP like questions.  We are encouraging students to wear their warm up clothes and get ready to exercise their brains!
