It’s beginning to look, smell, sound, taste and feel like FALL in Ohio. Also known as autumn, this season is a particular favorite in our area. Inspired by Kasey Bell’s magnetic poetry idea, I asked my students to create a poem about fall. This was a quick activity that we were able to complete on a beautiful fall day and they will look great on display in our building!

Just in case you haven’t heard, WE DO!
McDowell Exchange School received some very good news last Friday. Ohio’s Growth Measure Reports were released for Ohio’s Spring 2019 AIR tests. There were 1079 schools in Ohio who gave 7th and 8th grade tests.
Guess what? Out of those 1079 schools, our students had the 3rd highest Average Growth Index! Our 7th and 8th grade students put forth 110% effort on those tests and these results are a direct reflection of those efforts. Not bad for our small, rural school in the cornfield!
I am so incredibly proud of our students and staff for such an accomplishment. I’m always saying #McDowellstudentsarethebest and once again, I have the proof to back that statement up.
I love these kids, my colleagues, and I love being a BRAVE!
