T-shirt Winner & Thanksgiving Break

Hanging out with Amanda being silly before the break!
We have an exciting announcement regarding our YESS t-shirt contest at Shaw Heights--a winner has been chosen! Though we are awaiting official approval of the design, our peer-voted winners for this year's design contest are Celest and Chloe from 5th hour! Celest is a very talented artist and took several days to work out her hand drawn design. Many were blown away by her efforts--myself included! Congrats, ladies!

We did a lot of practicing with our, "Today I Choose..." maps before the break. I love how many of our scholars have chosen to keep with maps on their binders or right insider their planners. Many have also decorated their maps extensively, showing a lot of ownership and pride. I can see how these maps are already affecting the thinking process of our scholars.

We are starting our unit on the brain and will be talking a lot about fear this week. Stay tuned for more!
