there were some topics shared; feel
free to bring your own ideas and concerns to our next morning
meeting!!BYOT - Bring Your Own Technology
At Vivian Field our students have been empowered to
bring their own technology. The world outside is full of
technological resources and our students are allowed to
use technology at school
responding to directives
laid out by administration
for the campus and for
teachers in each classroom.
Vikings READ!All students are given 20
daily minutes to read, read,
read and read. There is a
plan for certain readings
throughout the year and they are always encouraged to bring
books they enjoy to
read during their 20 minutes specifically assigned for ...what
else? reading!
Red Ribbon Week
We celebrated our red ribbon week to encourage allstudents to
say No! to drugs. Take a minute today to have a conversation
with
your student to learn about the different activities we had at
school.
Veterans DayWe will soon have our Veteranss Day
celebration. Please join us by attending, or have a moment to
discuss with
your child the immense contribution that our veterans have made
to the
privileges we all enjoy, in our school and in our community.
Accountable TalkAt one point in class we talk about the bomb, we
teachabout the bomb and we ask about the bomb. Yet some
students have asked WHAT IF President Truman hadnt
dropped the bomb?. And we all begin to think again.
Our school is proud to implement a district initiative that
encourages students to be the drivers of classroom
conversations through questioning and interaction.
