DAy 121 Shared Responsibility
This week was amazing for the students and staff of the Hood School! I could not be more pleased and excited.
I want to thank all of you for your efforts. It was great to see so much engagement and particiption during a chaotic MCAS driven week. We had students working until the close of the school day and staff members jumping up to support them.
Well done and thank you all for preparing our students and helping the persevere through the difficult task they engaged in.
Day 120- Shared By Mr. Quinn
Perseverance in Action
This video has been making its way around the internet over the last couple of weeks (It was even mentioned by Don Cherry!) but I have to admit I just saw it yesterday.
I always love to post inspirational and feel good videos from time to time because I think there's enough bad news out there on a regular basis and every once and a while we need something to put a smile on our face.
Enjoy!

Day 119 Quotes by Grade 5 MCAS Students!
"Mrs. Wright, you taught me so many good strategies to use that MCAS is
easy for me this year!" followed by another fifth grader who said, "If
you notice, Mrs. Wright, it's all of your students who are still
working.. that just goes to show that you are a good teacher for us!"
It just doesn't get ANY better than that!
Day 118 PE Taecher Brandon Eng
Today Brandon E. was the PE Teacher for the day. Today he told the students to sit on the 10 foot line.
The rest is a direct quote from him- "I gave the directions for the game. During the game, I watched them to make sure that they followed the rules and played safe. They did great following the instuctions and had fun. Somtimes I got to play!"
Well Done Mr. PE!

Day 116- Grade 4 - A few extra days to prepare for long comp!
Today I was able to visit Mrs. Gorman's class and I was impressed with the high quality writing that I observed.
Griffin shared an amazing narrative about going to Fenway Park for the first time.
He included great vocabulary, great descriptions and two similes.
Please see a snapshot below:

Day 115- Grade 3 Student
Today was the first day for MCAS with our grade 3 students. I spoke with each class about
Perseverance!
Charlie learned not to quit, to work hard & never give up!
“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”
― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
