Team Meeting Report - 2/10

Every week, Team Falcon has a team meeting to reflect on the week and celebrate each other's accomplishments. This week, we thought we'd send out a report from the meeting.

Ms. TC's advisory was in charge of running the meeting, opening with a slide congratulating students on surviving the Science and Engineering Fair. We greeted each other with the roller coaster greeting (which is more fun than it has any right to be).  We also observed that it is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day, House Warranty Day, and Umbrella Day. (Note: Some of those may be more exciting to celebrate than others).

We celebrated the variety of activities Falcons take part in: Milton Dance Team will be participating in an event in St. Albans, the Vermont Hockey Playoffs are this weekend, and Gymnastics' state competition is tonight.

Perhaps the most meaningful part of team meeting is the acknowledgments section, where students take the opportunity to acknowledge the work of others in front of the whole team.

• A majority of the acknowledgments were focused on the Science and Engineering Fair. Students recognized each other for their willingness to help, their persistence, and their creative topics. 
• The Stock Market activities in math were also the subject of acknowledgments. Students celebrated their teamwork and sharing of information.
• Students were also celebrated for their application of learning to other fields, their note taking, and their ability to work through injuries.

Every week, we acknowledge someone as our Habit Hero - someone who has been a leader in our Habits of Mind (Preparedness, Persistence, Precision, Citizenship, and Flexible Thinking). This week, we honored Emma Philbrook. She is a good citizen, who helps other students who need, and definitely shows persistence in her work habits. Congratulations, Emma!

See you all next week!
