Students returned to WIN Time this week for the first time this semester. WIN (What I Need) time is used to provide intervention, acceleration and character building for our Razorbacks. The campus focuses on three areas during WIN Time: Math support, Reading support and social emotional learning. This week we provided 2 SEL options for students.

• One Word Challenge: https://jongordon.com/newsletters/one-word-challenge-for-2024/
• What are the qualities of a Razorback? Provide students the question above and have them complete a quick write silently for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, have the students share with a partner or small group and find the traits they have in common. Give students 5-7 minutes to share. Finish with each group sharing out and creating a class chart with the qualities of a Razorback.
  

Rodeo Palms staff completed the One word Challenge during professional learning on January 3rd. Both SEL lessons will continued to be incorporated throughout the semester. This is also a great conversation starter to have with your students to see what word they chose or what they believe are the qualities of a Razorback.

Anaiah Hodges is a seventh grader at Rodeo Palms Junior High and she’s proving to be tough to beat as she competes in The Kids Baking Championship on The Food Network! They’re halfway through the season and Hodges has already won two challenges on the show! You can follow her success on Monday nights when the show airs. Let’s hope she has the recipe to win the top prize of $25,000! We’re so proud of Anaiah!

The campus has been piloting a 2 lane car rider line to help move the line faster. Thank you for your patience as we have implemented this process.
