Our teachers enjoy learning and working collaboratively to plan and analyze student data to meet the needs of our students. It truly brightened my day to “catch” two of our brand-new educators planning an in-depth lesson and not even recognizing that I had entered the room. We are truly focused on continuing the important work of improving our instructional practices to improve student achievement!
Quality student work is on display all throughout the building at BAMO. From hands-on 3D Solar System projects in 4th grade, to dioramas in 3rd grade, we are committed to giving our students optimal and engaging learning opportunities to spark and motivate classroom experiences.
We are so proud of our educators for a great first month of school! I decided to surprise them with “Smoothies” for a “Smooth Landing” as they took a quick layover to enjoy a much needed and well-deserved three-day weekend for the Labor Day weekend. Our entire staff brings such great energy into the building daily, the energy of commitment and teamwork! The flight crew of FLIGHT 2324 is on a mission!
Our students completed MAP testing last week! This baseline academic data will provide us with an even more detailed analysis of our students’ strengths and opportunities for growth. We will be sending home MAP Family Reports in the next week or so with scheduled times in October to discuss your specific child’s performance with teachers. We have already started our academic Intervention/Enrichment block for Literacy and Mathematics. The sky is the limit on how far we can improve our proficiency rates for the school!
