On Friday, we had our annual MSA Assembly to share data from the previous year and get the students pumped for doing their very best on the tests this year. We shared motivational videos (WLMS Rappers http://youtu.be/RcT_ovElwGw) and we held a competition between the girls and the boys to see which gender would reign supreme. The competition, a balloon blowing contest, served as a metaphor for taking the test. How, you might ask? Well...here are some of the answers our students came up with...
- There is a strategy to blowing-up a balloon...the same as taking a high stakes test.
- You have to get pumped-up to perform at your highest levels.
- The test is a competition.
- Every balloon counts...so does every answer.
- You have to be quiet during the competition...and when taking the test.
- You have to concentrate to do well.
Congratulation to all of our girls. They beat the boys at each grade level. In particular, they were most successful in the 8th grade! Our boys really blew it this year. : ( While it was close, the girls proved to be better this year!
Here are some more pics from the assemblies:
