The Teddies Team 2015-2016 is off to a great start!
Hello Teddies!
The first few weeks of school have been great! We are so excited to be getting to know our new Teddy Team students. Classes have been going well and we are all getting into the swing of things. As the year begins we are focusing on community and routine building. You can expect homework and projects to pick up as the year continues.
The Teddy Team teachers are Ms. Belusa (English), Ms. Collins (Algebra), Ms. Hahn (Science) and Ms. Jensen (Geography). An effort is made to keep students on team, but sometimes scheduling needs mean that a student is off team for some of these four classes. The blog is a great way to stay up to date on team happenings, such as field trips.
Please check the calendar for homework and upcoming events!
We will update the blog and calendar on a weekly basis, usually on Tuesdays. Let us know if there is anything you'd like to see on the blog in the future!
Here's to a great year!

Happy Monday, Teddy parents and students!
On Saturday, many of our students participated in the State World Savvy Competition at the University of Minnesota. They did a wonderful job and represented Roosevelt fabulously! Be sure to congratulate all of our participants, as well as Talia B., Claire K., and Maria M., who took second place in the Documentary Category. Other amazing participants who showcased their work include A'Davian S., Ana F., and Elizabeth N. Other important achievements from the day included Davi and Ana being interviewed for World Savvy promotional materials and a shout out to Elizabeth N. for "the most complete website that World Savvy has ever seen," according to one judge.
On Tuesday, our students will attend Concordia University in St. Paul for a day of teambuilding and learning about college options.
Midquarter grades are coming up so continue to encourage your student to get any missing work turned in! We will be holding an after-school Homework Party/Study Session for English, Social Studies, and Math very soon, so we will share that date with you ASAP.
