Hello, Middle School Students and Families! Here is a recap of today’s Middle School Meeting.
Teagan Weintraub ’31 ran today’s meeting. You can check out the slides from this week’s meeting here.
BVR Student
Parker Slugg ’32 presented Incorporates Feedback by Reflecting, Asking for help, and Trying Again.
I chose it because it’s extremely important for getting better at stuff. If you don’t incorporate feedback, you won’t get better. When a teacher makes a comment on my doc, I try to fix it and learn. If the feedback is confusing, I ask for clarification. Without incorporating feedback, I couldn’t get better.
