evidence kids are using their black notebooks evidence that backpacks are organized evidence kids are doing close reading of text and annotating text (talking to the text) CURRENT class lists on the emergency backpack clipboards black backpacks close by the classroom doors (when LAUSD was here, they said various classrooms did not have this in evidence) 3. CLASS LEADERS: Remember to have your class leaders give visitors tours of the room when they enter. They should shake hands firmly, look visitors in the eye, greet them and introduce themselves, and tell them what the class is learning and WHY! 4. FOOD DRIVE: Companies are having a food drive for the month of November. Food gets brought to company classrooms for the competition. 5. EXTENDED FORMATION: We will have Extended Formation schedule Wednesday, and Friday in order to practice for the Pass in Review next week. I realize this makes the classes shorter, but we really need to get in as much practice time as possible. 6. SIXTH GRADE MILE RUN: The 6th grade will do the in-cadence mile run this Thursday. For those of you who were here last year, you will remember we started a tradition of physical challenges for each grade level. Students who successfully complete each grade level physical challenge will get special recognition. This Thursday, we start with the 6th grade mile run. Zak Lara took charge of this last year, and I am hoping he will do the same this year. The plan is for them to run the neighborhood from roughly Thursday morning as four separate units (one platoon per company) running as a regiment under the direction of the regimental Sergeant Major and TACs. Zak will send out details once they are available. Students who are new to NVMI or who did not complete the challenge last year are also able to join the run. THIS WEEK: MONDAY *Alpha day *Central Local Superintendent Martinez here from 0930-1100 for campus tour and meeting with Mark re: replication of the NVMI model in LAUSD *Before school HW Help *Academic Support TUESDAY day *Before school HW Help *Intramurals *Air Force Academy Alum here from 0930-1100 for meeting re: board membership; will take campus tour *Academic Support
