Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program

Hal Henderson is home of the Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program. Mrs. Angela Capers, a "highly qualified" teacher with exceptional talents, developed the program during the 2008-2009 academic year. Mrs. Karen Graves, a "highly qualified" paraprofessional, works collaboratively with the 2010-2011 teacher, Mrs. Patricia Cook, to continously move the program forward. Mrs. Cook was previously our State Department of Education Technical Assistant who evaluated our program. We have 18 students enrolled in Pre-K. I am also pleased to announce that our site has been recognized by the State Department of Education as "exemplary."

READ ACROSS AMERICA CELEBRATION


Vanquerius began the celebration early Friday morning eating "Green Eggs and Ham" and reading a Dr. Seuss book. Faculty and Staff members wore matching "Read Across America" t-shirts, hats, etc. Students enjoyed books and movies throughout the day. It was fun for all!!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

"Recognition is linked to effort and achievement."
Something to think about.....

1. Think about some of the accomplishments and qualities for which students are recognized in your classroom.
2. What methods do you use to provide recognition in your classroom.
3. It is essential that recognition be honest, genuine, and sincere.
4. Think about techniques you use in your classroom that have prove to be especially effective when giving recognition to individual students.
5. Think about techniques that have proved motivational when providing recognition to the entire class.

With ARMT/Stanford-10 quickly approaching, motivational techniques may improve student engagement. Time is running out!! Please use your instructional time wisely.
