Good evening, Woodson Wave Families, this is Liz Berry with some updates for the coming week. Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Week, Mrs. Amy Austen. Mrs. Austen is a 5th grade teacher. Mrs. Austen quickly and amazingly adjusted to virtual learning days by continuing to use her in-class structure of a daily warm-up, explicit instruction, and independent practice in Google classroom format. She provided quality instruction and then gave students the opportunity to practice in break out rooms. Way to continue addressing meeting standards while managing virtual learning. You rock Mrs. Austen!
Congratulations to our Students of the Week, Amelia Bentley in PreK-3 and Hunter Nelson in 2nd Grade. Amelia is a kind friend to all her peers, teachers, and anyone she may come across throughout the day. She is eager to help others and always does her best. Hunter is always respectful, kind, and a wonderful friend to others. He is a role model in his class. We are so proud of both of you!!! Way to go!!!
