Ms. Henning’s reading students put their communication skills to the test last week. Working in teams without speaking, they relied on gestures and sounds to collaborate. Once they were allowed to talk, they quickly discovered how much easier it is to succeed with clear and specific direction, a fun and eye-opening lesson on the power of communication. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Holt’s reading students began by reading a passage independently, then came together in small groups to dive deeper into the text. Through collaborative discussions, they tackled critical thinking questions, shared perspectives, and built on one another’s ideas. This activity not only strengthened comprehension but also encouraged communication, teamwork, and higher-level thinking. #PanthersRISE

In Ms. Crews’s and Ms. Dupont’s 9th Grade English classes, students started the year by discovering what connects them. Using paper hexagons, each student shared personal interests, hobbies, and passions. Then, they linked their hexagons together to show the connections they have with their classmates. The growing web of hexagons became a visual reminder that, even in a new class, there’s always common ground and shared experiences. #PanthersRISE
