Inspiring Adventures
Due to last weeks closures and delays, below is the schedule for Inspiring Adventures (slight adjustment in the order of teams). Also, as a reminder, students will be taking the IAAT (Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test) the morning prior to their Inspiring Adventures activities. The data from this test will help determine math placement for your child in 7th grade. Those who qualify for Pre-Algebra math will be notified via parent email. That group will then be invited to test in March for acceleration in science next year.
Monday: Team Challenge
Tuesday: Team Engage
Wednesday: Team Inspire
Friday: Team Prepare

News from the Fox Den
After Inspiring Adventures, Mrs. Fox will meet with the students to discuss the topic of integrity. During the lesson, the students will dissect the following quote from Brene' Brown:
"Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them."
Mrs. Fox will also help students understand the benefits of having integrity.
- People trust us.
- We can positively influence others.
- We feel peaceful because we have a clear conscience.
- We feel confident because we have nothing to hide.
Lastly, the students will complete an Integrity Self-assessment. They will rate themselves on the following questions. Talk with your child about their results.
1. Do I avoid gossip?
2. Do I avoid inappropriate jokes?
3. Do I avoid using profanity?
4. Am I truthful?
5. Am I dependable?
6. Am I being who I say I am?
7. Do I do the right thing even when no one is looking?
