Courtside with Mr. Kooyman! West Heritage students who earned enough PBIS points got the exciting chance to challenge Mr. Kooyman in a one-on-one basketball game. Not only did students show off their skills on the court, but they also celebrated the power of positive behavior. What a fun and motivating way to keep students working hard and making great choices!
Hands-on learning in action! Mrs. Kooyman’s 4th graders at Colony are exploring circuits through their Amplify curriculum.
