Each week, students are nominated by our teachers to receive a Friday Firebird Award. This award is given to students who set a wonderful example by demonstrating one of the Habits of Mind!
Juliette W. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, "Juliette ran a fantastic Socratic Seminar in her 9th-grade college history course. She demonstrated excellent leadership qualities to effectively manage a very large class of her peers. She encouraged her fellow students to stay engaged in the content by asking incisive questions. Great work, Juliette!”
Bidal M. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Ms. Thornhill shared, "Bidal has been coming to my ELO to get caught up with some Khan Academy, and his persistence has paid off! Great job, Bidal!”
Juliana P. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Unruh shared, "Julianna is doing an excellent job helping her peers study for their math test. She is teaching rather than simply telling, and she communicates the concepts with clarity and confidence. Thanks for being a wonderful teacher, Juliana!”
Jack L. was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Mrs. Davies shared, "During a test review Q&A session, Jack looked at the very last problem—typically the most challenging—from a different perspective. Looking at the problem using his background knowledge led to a much simpler solution process. He first explained his process verbally to the entire class and then went to the board to illustrate his solution method. Well done, Jack!”
Addison D., was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, "Addi has demonstrated great tenacity by keeping up with her college history work despite suffering an injury. She does her homework, motivates her classmates, and plays a critical role in the Socratic Seminars of a very large class. Addi also completed a major part of her research paper. Nicely done, Addi!”
