✍️📚 Learning in Action in Ms. McCormick’s Class! 📚✍️
Our students have been hard at work preparing for FAST Writing, and Ms. McCormick brought the energy with an engaging station rotation activity!
Students rotated through stations focused on:
🔹 Creating strong introductions and conclusions
🔹 Identifying the PEEL strategy
🔹 Using effective transitions
🔹 Finding evidence and elaboration
🔹 Scoring essays using an argumentative writing rubric
Through collaboration and teamwork, students worked together to strengthen their writing skills and deepen their understanding of what strong writing looks like.
We love seeing our Bulldogs actively engaged and growing as writers! 💙🧡

Mrs. Robinson’s AVID students recently took on a fun (and challenging!) team-building activity that put their communication and collaboration skills to the test.
Students worked together to navigate obstacles while each person held onto a bandana supporting a cup with a marble on top—no easy task! Their goal was to carefully move as a team and successfully drop the marble into a trashcan… without letting it fall.
If the marble dropped, they had to start all over—teaching perseverance, patience, and the importance of working together toward a common goal. 💪
This hands-on activity was a great reminder that success doesn’t happen alone—it takes focus, trust, and teamwork!
