"It takes a village to raise a child"
The enhancement teachers are devoted to helping your children be the best they can be, by not only teaching them art, music, and physical education, but teaching life skills as well as test taking skills. Below is a list of the "12 MOST POWERFUL WORDS." These words will help your child be better prepared for the upcoming EOGs. Please look over these words and review them with you children.

TRACE - list in steps
ANALYZE - break apart
INFER - read between the lines
EVALUATE - judge
FORMULATE - create
DESCRIBE - tell all about
SUPPORT - back up with details
EXPLAIN - tell how
SUMMARIZE - give the short version
COMPARE - all the ways alike
CONTRAST - all the ways different
PREDICT - what will happen next

WOW where did the summer go. Although we miss getting to sleep in a little later, we are happy to be back at school and ready to have a great year. This year there will be two art teachers at Granite. Ms. Amy Mullens is returning on Mondays and Tuesday. On Thursdays and friday Charmaine Bundrock will be joining the school family. We are both excited to see what wonderful art our students will be producing this year. As always, any help from the parents is helpful. Below is a list of supplies that is needed for the art room.
