Touchet School District

Mr. Loree makes math exciting and engaging for his sixth-grade students by incorporating creative and fun methods into his lessons. This week, Mr. Loree dressed up like a rock star to teach his students about rational numbers. By acting out math problems, he has been able to create a classroom environment that is both enjoyable and informative. We are grateful to see the positive impact Mr. Loree’s teaching has had on our students. Not only are they learning and improving their math skills, but they are also having fun while doing it.

Congratulations to the Touchet Elementary students chosen for the month of March to have lunch & ice cream with the principal. How do students get chosen? Each month students have the opportunity to earn behavior slips by showing respect, solving problems, and/or making good decisions. The behavior slip gets put into a drawing. Students whose slips get drawn get to have lunch with the principal and receive an ice-cream treat.

Touchet Third Graders have started the process of practicing for the Smarter Balance state test by logging in, taking sample interim tests, and by interacting with the online test taking tools.  As teachers, we can alleviate many of the little glitches that can add stress to our students test day by giving them this opportunity to practice early.  Our third graders have already learned so much in the 3 sessions we have completed.  They understand why practicing for tests is so important.  I hope they keep that with them as they continue in school.  Practicing and studying are keys to success.

Third grade has been working hard on the writing process.  They recently completed 5 paragraph expository essays on each of the planets.  They used an essay frame to organize their thoughts and Chromebooks to research and type their essays into a Google document.  They then took to the stage and presented their essays to the class.  Lots of new learning happening in December!
