Noble AIG News

I am thrilled to be the AIG Specialist at Noble Middle School and to have the opportunity to work with you all this year! This is my 25th year teaching and my 22nd year at Noble! Before I became the AIG Specialist, I taught ELA in 7th and 8th grade. I have my Masters in Curriculum, Instruction, and Supervision and I am a National Board Certified Teacher. I am looking forward to supporting and working with your children this year in a variety of ways! I am always available to answer questions or address any concerns you may have.

AIG Mastery occurs on a 3-week rotation due to the number of identified students. Mastery takes place during the various grade levels mastery time every day with the exception of Wednesdays. Please encourage your children to attend Mastery during their assigned time. This is an opportunity for me to not only get to know your children better, but for them to have the space and time to do what they need and to receive AIG services.

ALL AIG students are expected to participate in the Vocabulary Bowl through IXL!! This is a national contest!!

Mastery activities include:

• Games, puzzles, etc.
• Projects
• Competitions
• Debates
• Seminars
• And other activities to enrich students' learning!

Students should check the AIG Google Classroom, just like for any other class, for important updates and resources!

The GAC is a community council composed of NHCS employees, families, and business/community members who want to support the NHCS AIG Program. It is affiliated with the NHCS Board of Ed and school system, but not run by NHCS or the BOE. It is its own separate entity. Liaisons attend the monthly meeting and share information with me to support our students. This position can also be shared, so there is still the opportunity to be involved even if you can't attend all meetings.

If you are interested in serving in this role, please let me know. jennifer.waring@nhcs.net

All meetings are from 6:00pm - 7:00pm at the NHCS Board of Education Building (1805 S 13th Street)

This is a shift from previous meeting locations at the Spencer Building.

*Please note in the past the council has voted to cancel the December meeting.

I am developing your student's Differentiated Education Plan (DEP). Noble AIG students' DEPs will be emailed home for signatures. However, if you are new to Noble and would like to discuss how our AIG program works in middle school and to sign your student's DEP, I am more than happy to schedule a conference time with you as well. Please email me if you would like to setup a conference.

Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity from Mr. Su, expert MathCounts extraordinaire! Mr. Su has been an amazing resource for NHCS students for well over 15 years. His children attended Noble years ago, but he continues to be dedicated and shares his love of math. These sessions not only challenge students, but they also prepared them for rigorous math classes.

Creativity lives in every child! The National PTA Reflections Program is a wonderful opportunity for ALL students- whether they're budding artists, writers, dancers, musicians, photographers, or filmmakers. This program isn't just for those who see themselves as artistic, but for any student with a story to tell, an idea to share, or a passion to explore.

This year's theme is: " I Belong!" The Deadline for student submissions is November 13th.

Student entry forms are available in the Media Center or at the front desk. For more information see http://www.pta.org/home/programs/reflections or email the Noble Reflections Chair, Gen Brown, at genbrown121@gmail.com.
