Flex Happenings
This big hairy beast is my sweet dog, Tundra.
He is one big boy!
FLEX is an opportunity for students to receive an additional enrichment or intervention course. FLEX also allows for separate 5/6 and 7/8 lunches four days a week. FLEX classes are a blend of fifth and sixth graders which will be a nice opportunity for students to expand their circle of peers. Fifth and sixth grade will have lunch first and then go to their FLEX class daily except on Wednesdays.
During the week we will focus on team building and inclusion activities, organization, and study skills. The typical break down will be two days of tutorials where peers will prepare for class by thinking about what they are learning in their other classes and looking for areas where they are still unclear. They write driving questions and then present. Their peers then guide the student through the problem to help increase understanding. One day will be spent on students meta cognition with the help of learning logs. On these days, I will be meeting with students to go over their grades and look for ways for students to make improvements. The last day the focus will be on team building and inclusion. CMS is a place where all students are accepted and supported. FLEX class is just one way we achieve that goal.
