Please welcome our new 5th/6th grade LD/BD teacher, Brittany Scott. She is from Marion, IA. This is her second year as a teacher. Last year she taught at FMI. She decided to go into teaching because she was an associate for 5 years and absolutely loved it, and wanted to play a greater roll. She chose to work at a middle school because it’s a fun age! She has a ten year old who is also at Vernon this year. She just had a baby in June. She got married in April and a few months ago got a new dog.
Interesting Fact: She was on the Five seasons water ski team growing up and now her daughter and husband were first time members this last summer.

Mrs. Lange went to the ICTM conference and is doing a book study with other Math teachers around the state. The book is called Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics. The students are put into different, random groups on each activity. They are only allowed one marker in the group and they are to switch scribes at least every task or every couple minutes. The kids have been doing amazing working together. Not everything is perfect, but Mrs. Lange is so proud of how the kids have embraced these changes and are willing to try different things. #vmsinspire
