Students Take Ownership at Conferences
 Our 7th grade teachers accepted the challenge as part of the
Idaho Middle School Reform Task Force recommendation to
initiate student-led conferences. The theory behind
student-led conferences is that students take greater ownership
in understanding and being responsible
 for their academic
performance. Involving the students in this process makes
a lot more work for our teachers, but has the added benefit of
helping students communicate their strengths and weaknesses in
each class to their parents.
Dual Immersion Students Enter Contest
 The
Dual Immersion students have each entered a contest sponsored by
the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE).
The theme of the contest is "Being Bilingual." The
students will write the essays in English but must be prepared
to present in English and Spanish at the awards ceremony in
Austin, Texas. A $1,500 cash award will be presented to
the winner.
Some of the students'
comments when asked about being bilingual included:
|
" I feel like I have the upper hand." |
|
"I could be somebody who travels and
understands the world." |
|
"Para poder ser alguien en la vida y saber
mas de dos idiomas." |
NEW SIGN FINALLY ARRIVES AT WOOD RIVER MIDDLE SCHOOL
Years ago when the new wing was added to
 WRMS,
the sign was accidentally destroyed. The Leadership
students of the Class of 2010 decided that we needed a new sign.
They also thought it would be a good idea to order one that
would allow the school to inform parents about school events.
It didn't take them long to raise enough money to purchase a new
sign for our school. Thanks to Jill Clark and the awesome
BCSD Maintenance staff, our new sign is installed! Thanks
everyone who was involved in "Making it Happen!"

Technology Classroom Welcomes Visitors from Idaho
National Laboratory (INL)
 Students
in the Technology Classroom had an opportunity to meet with
Engineers and Scientists from the INL to discuss careers in
Math, Engineering and current areas of study at the Idaho
Laboratories.
Additionally, students were eager to show off the windmills they
are constructing as they learn about wind generation of
Electrical Power.
