Outstanding Year!

It truly was an OUTSTANDING year! This amazing class was recognized for outstanding behavior fifty-five times. 

The majority of their “outstandings” were earned in Art, Music, P.E. and STEAM. What makes it even more amazing is that in November, the teachers in these areas let the students know that they “will be ‘upping the game’ with a new focus to earn an outstanding certificate.” This meant that they not only expected students to work quietly, listen/follow directions, and clean up, but they would also need to excel in teamwork and inclusion. The students rose to the challenge! 

Other “outstandings” were earned throughout the day and in a variety of ways including the the lunchroom, hallway, and classroom!

This accomplishment required every student in the classroom to work hard, be a leader (using words and actions), and respond to classmates reminders to fix things up when needed. They understood that their individual choices made a significant impact on the class as a whole.

Wow! This special group of fourth graders set the bar incredibly high for all of the students at Georgetown Elementary! Way to go outstanding students of room 304! 🙂
