I found this board game - Escape the Room. It has four different simulations and you have 60 minutes to "break out" of the room. There are a serious of clues, questions, information and more. You work to solve which keys go in the decoder box and in the right order. If you solve it correctly before the 60 minutes expire, you win.<br />

<br />
The students are working in small groups to solve the puzzles. This requires problem solving skills, critical thinking, planning, communication and teamwork.<br />
<br />
Our next project is building our own Breakout Games followed by a trip to one of the actual Escape room locations in Lexington.<br />

As part of Economics class, they worked together to learn about business and develop a product, buy stock in their "company", distribute their product, make a profit, and pay their stakeholders.<br />
<br />
They did a fabulous job!<br />
<br />
This group decided to develop some sports/fan wear for our school and they called themselves, "Freshman Fan Outfitters". They sold the products and made a $1200 profit. For an initial investment of $2 per stock, they ended up with a return of $10 per stock. They also chose to purchase American, Christian and Kentucky flags and stands for our school stage with some of their profit.<br />
<br />
We are proud of their efforts!<br />

<br />
We had a contest with all of our homerooms. Each morning they tracked how many items we had turned in and how many items per student each homeroom had.<br />
<br />
Our top three winners were: 3rd place -Mrs. Bevins room (4th grade), 2nd place- Mrs. Stout's room (Transitional Kindergarten) and 1st place - Mrs. James' room (3rd grade).<br />

We had set a school-wide goal of 500 food items. We ended up with 1136 total items. Our school came in SECOND place in the county for collection with 1172 pounds of food turned in vs. the top school (with twice as many students) turning in about 1500 pounds of food. <br />

One of them is by Ken Robinson, Ph.D. entitled, <u>Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That's Transforming Education</u>. It is a fabulous book and it seeks to question that mentality of "doing what we've always done", without first examining why we do it that way and if it is actually working.<br>
<br>
As I have delved into the book, I have found myself exploding with ideas, not necessarily of how our school does something wrong, but how we might capitalize on practices and ideas we have already put into place and make them better.<br>
<br>
As a private school, we have to maintain standards and have academic accountability just like any school. However, we also have the autonomy to make that accountability MAKE MORE SENSE.<br>
<br>
We have to begin with the end in sight - what do we truly want graduates of our school to look like? Working backwards from that, what does that mean for 8th grade? 4th grade? Kindergarten?<br>
<br>
How do we engage our students without stifling their creativity and natural-born instincts and passions? How do we encourage problem-solving skills, application of knowledge and build a firm foundation of academic principles in new and different ways?<br>
<br>
How do we authentically look for methods of student presentation and assessment that combines technology, 21st century skills and Christ-centered values in our school?<br>
<br>
As I wrestle with so many thoughts and ideas, I find myself getting excited, not frustrated. Our future, the future of our students and the heart of our community is dependent upon their education now. We have the opportunity to "develop future generations of Christian leaders" as they grow to vocationally serve in ministry, engineering, education, medical field, business and more. <br>

I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store, not only for me, but for our school and our students!

The evening began with a selection of "Olde English Christmas Carols" performed by our MS Chorus. During a brief intermission, we will have scones, tea, wassail and hot cider. Our MS/HS drama department will then present "Ebenezer's Christmas Carol". <br>

Each year we host the book fair and students look forward to going through and making a wish list for books. Our librarian, Mrs. Messinger, works hard to set up for this and make it a huge success. Through the book fair, we are able to add $4000-5000 worth of books to our library each year! Tuesday night was family night at the book fair and we had a wonderful turn out of parents, grandparents, students and faculty.<br>

We have selections for our younger students and young adults.<br>

This year we will have all of our students' first semester art projects on display during the Elementary and MS Christmas programs. In the past, we've done one art show in the Spring and kept everyone's work until then. This year, we will have two art shows. One will be in conjunction with the Christmas programs and then another will be in May. <br>
<br>
Here are some samples of what is already up around the hallways:<br>

Once there, they have to report to Uncle Sam and pay taxes first! They then work their way through about 20 different stations to arrange housing, insurance, transportation, child care, groceries, furniture, and more. They have opportunities to sign up for supplemental income by enlisting in the National Guard and/or part-time jobs with Walmart or Kroger.

Each year I enjoy going with the students and hearing their conversations and reactions to this experience. One student came up to me at the end and said, "Mrs. Tigges, if I didn't have any kids, I would have a lot of money!" and another student said, "How do my parents do this?". <br>

I appreciate the work that our local Chamber of Commerce does to put this together. It is a valuable experience for students as they navigate what it means to pay your bills and have a set amount of money to work with to manage. They make them talk about savings, insurance, and more. <br>

I really enjoyed seeing how he used technology and manipulatives to teach measurement, fractions and more. The students really grasped what he was teaching from a visual, audio and tactile point of view. <br>

I have read through this book once already, as it was/is a requirement for my courses through ACSI Leadership University. Now that it is highlighted and underlined and starred, I am re-reading it again and looking for themes, important items to discuss in our monthly board meetings and items we can use to directly impact the financial stability and vision for our school.<br>
<br>
Right now, we are discussing current paradigms that exist within the Christian school at-large and specifically in our school. We are also examining biblical principles that need to be applied when examining finances at our school.<br>
<br>
I really enjoy the way this book forces me to think, to examine pre-supposed principles regarding financial decisions.<br>
<br>
One question he posed is, "Do we want to make Christian education accessible or affordable?" and that really resonates with me. For me, the choice to educate my children at a private, Christian school requires dedication and sacrifice. Every family has to decide what that looks like for them, what it requires.<br>
<br>
I want to value my faculty and staff. I want to retain dedicated and committed individuals. I want to provide high-quality professional development for them to continue to grow, expand their practice of educating our students, learn more about specific subject matter. We want to provide "out of the box" opportunities for our students. All of these requirements have to be properly funded.<br>
<br>
Our board brings much thought, expertise and prayer to each decision we make for the school. I am excited to see how we grow and learn together through this study. I am also excited to see how we continue to lean on God's provision!Carrie Beth Tiggeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14851301056095268833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097077796194557093.post-13218274555784760762016-11-08T18:23:00.000-05:002016-11-08T18:23:53.535-05:00Parent Teacher Conferences<img src="http://blogs.mariamontessoriacademy.org/mmajr/wp-content/uploads/sites/30/2015/05/Parent-Teacher-Conference.png" id="img" style="height: 329px; width: 425px;" /> <br />
<br />
Tuesday is our fall parent/teacher conference day. We set aside one day each fall to have initial parent/teacher conferences. Our teachers can certainly meet with parents throughout the year for concerns, but this day is specifically aimed at partnering with our parents to document progress of our students academically, as well as spiritually and socially.<br />
<br />
It is exciting to see so many parents invested and interested in meeting with their children's teachers.<br />
<br />
Several of our teachers are incorporating progress monitoring data from our CBMs (curriculum based measures), as well as class work and even reflections from the students as a part of their materials for these meetings.<br />
<br />
Recently, I found some fabulous resources on Teachers Pay Teachers and Pinterest to share with our staff for them to utilize for these meetings.<br />

Today, Monday, our Young Republicans Club and their sponsor, Mr. Lewis, have been hosting a student Presidential election. Students are voting on who they would pick to be President of the United States.<br />
<br />
We have "voting booths" set up and ballots that they fill out so they can cast their vote.<br />
<br />
Here are the results of our voting:<br />
<br />
Students:<br />
Hillary Clinton - received 46 votes<br />
Donald Trump - received 186 votes<br />
Gary Johnson - received 16 votes<br />
Evan McMullin- received 11 votes<br />
Jill Stein -received 4 votes <br />
<br />
Our students have been reading books in classes, discussing the electoral college, doing Presidential Election research reports, analyzing polls and debates.<br />
<br />
Set an example for our young people - GET OUT AND VOTE TOMORROW!Carrie Beth Tiggeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14851301056095268833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097077796194557093.post-42139968389356321962016-11-07T11:46:00.002-05:002016-11-07T11:51:55.865-05:00Fall Retreat<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVmtizGC1Q2lPkYLJ5Ujgaitqc7ShUek9ZwKjQxWv6birvrJoRL_8hohjtj46AinScwVze6zkyE-gTR0OHQHeiyXVY-6rN_o7jaLJGyG26TR0FuXwSby_QWCWsXgo1WNKQxmT-oo_E4S-/s640/blogger-image-961741875.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCVmtizGC1Q2lPkYLJ5Ujgaitqc7ShUek9ZwKjQxWv6birvrJoRL_8hohjtj46AinScwVze6zkyE-gTR0OHQHeiyXVY-6rN_o7jaLJGyG26TR0FuXwSby_QWCWsXgo1WNKQxmT-oo_E4S-/s640/blogger-image-961741875.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Each year, we take our middle school and high school students on a "Fall Retreat". The focus is on fellowship within our student body, bible study, reflection and worship. The past few years we have journeyed over to Crossings at Cedarmore in Bagdad, Kentucky. The camp is situated on several hundred beautiful acres of rolling hills. The lakes are serene and the recreation area is perfect for hosting 140+ middle and high school students. They can play basketball, ga-ga ball, 9 square, volleyball, soccer and more all in adjacent areas. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsoTeVWk5d7qmX4fev21s-3keWFhD4jwHbhyphenhyphenh9pFfzt9xBV3KnuF-NibKGcx7y8eDq7E-7DO8Vf9b1yHK5GpTgRf08hFajo8Jm15ZN3RrjRnaMX1jVUygBp4ovKZ2KSF06zMUcvuPtalsW/s640/blogger-image--1564739531.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsoTeVWk5d7qmX4fev21s-3keWFhD4jwHbhyphenhyphenh9pFfzt9xBV3KnuF-NibKGcx7y8eDq7E-7DO8Vf9b1yHK5GpTgRf08hFajo8Jm15ZN3RrjRnaMX1jVUygBp4ovKZ2KSF06zMUcvuPtalsW/s640/blogger-image--1564739531.jpg"></a></div><br>

Our theme this year was centered around Redemption. John Nix, of Vertical Purpose Ministries, (<a href="http://www.johnnix.com/">www.johnnix.com</a>), was our pastor for the retreat. He focused on preaching from the book of Hosea in the Old Testament. He did a fabulous job preaching, as well as meeting individually with parents and high school students. <br>

Three college students, Logan Carver, Braden Burford and Mac Price, came and led our worship. Logan and Braden are recent graduates of TFCA. The students listed this as one of their favorite parts of retreat - the worship!<br>

Another favorite is bazooka ball - students use "markers" similar to paintball guns. They use small, nerf balls about the size of golf balls. Middle school students play one another, then high school and then the parents and faculty get a turn!<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcWwHcaeMX3LO_N3HZCq2SR6cow8oyQTtDtmzGFKhCiJJtNBNVZYMEO5OAJyCTcURWAWpH-es71gW3ax7ftxLkmnD0I_E6yzBr_yJNo4PlpcTBTuLTCGYRJzwph9IPItxboinBfIBWtNC/s640/blogger-image--1243717621.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcWwHcaeMX3LO_N3HZCq2SR6cow8oyQTtDtmzGFKhCiJJtNBNVZYMEO5OAJyCTcURWAWpH-es71gW3ax7ftxLkmnD0I_E6yzBr_yJNo4PlpcTBTuLTCGYRJzwph9IPItxboinBfIBWtNC/s640/blogger-image--1243717621.jpg"></a></div><br>

One of the items Mr. Nix focused on with parents was the idea that we are all making disciples as we parent. As we guide and direct our children, we want to point them constantly toward God's word. Fostering a love for reading the Bible and applying his truth has to be a focus for us as Christian parents. He gave some practical advice for incorporating discipleship in our home!</div></div>Carrie Beth Tiggeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14851301056095268833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097077796194557093.post-9145629029889111302016-10-31T16:21:00.002-04:002016-10-31T18:33:51.105-04:00Charlotte's Web Day in 2nd Grade<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXChpxpU3_d6YT0dHMrU9PSD8O4YK0lxEI1Gc8Y_hW0rkEFoXKklJa8c0V6Vt1I8XFQmguDGAL6oy4SoPWxhvTcqMueqaLzKN8aBHxVkao0O8CYudkHc0acLUbdiI5dR4Fp4nR2pAtOQiN/s640/blogger-image-757357651.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXChpxpU3_d6YT0dHMrU9PSD8O4YK0lxEI1Gc8Y_hW0rkEFoXKklJa8c0V6Vt1I8XFQmguDGAL6oy4SoPWxhvTcqMueqaLzKN8aBHxVkao0O8CYudkHc0acLUbdiI5dR4Fp4nR2pAtOQiN/s640/blogger-image-757357651.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div><br></div>Monday was Charlotte's Web Day in Second Grade.<br>

Here is the high school one:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is so important for students to learn an organizational system that works for them! We really encourage our parents to let their middle school students become independent. Let them be responsible for turning in their work, following up on assignments, even checking their grades and homework on Renweb. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As parents, here are some ways you can help your child:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Have a family meeting once a week, (Sunday night is a great night!), where you all get out your calendars. Help your child not only look at what homework, tests and projects they may have due, but also look at extra-curriculars. They need to learn that life is about balance. If you know you have a test on Friday, but Thursday night is gymnastics or soccer night, they should study before Thursday night!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Help your child develop a system for not only doing their work, but turning it in to the teacher. Teachers cannot grade work that is at home or in their locker! Whether they mark through it in their agenda book or put a check mark beside it, have a way to determine they actually turned it in on time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Help them break big assignments or studying for tests into smaller, more manageable chunks. For example, if they have a presentation to do for class, do the research first. Then make an outline of what they want to include in their power point or poster. Assemble the presentation. Finally, practice giving their presentation. This helps them not feel so overwhelmed and avoids waiting until the last minute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Urge them to write in their agenda/planner every class period, even if it is to write "no homework". This makes writing in there a habit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
* Help them set up their own student account through ParentsWeb so they can take responsibility for checking homework that is posted and look at their grades. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We all want to aid our students in becoming independent, responsible young adults. These are life skills they need to succeed as adults in college and/or careers. Your guidance now and allowing your child room to make some mistakes will be invaluable to them later in life!</div>
