Shout out to Mohawk’s VIP staff member of the week: Ms. Collier! She truly goes above and beyond for our students each and every day…and has a heart of gold! #VIP #Valued #ImportantAndLoved #PotentialForGreatness
The students are thoroughly enjoying their sessions in the Media-Tech center. From touch-screen interaction and read-alouds to selecting new books to check out, they are engaged in reading and educational technology.
Mohawk would like to welcome Mrs. Will into her new position as a Kindergarten teacher. The students are having a great first week in her class, and they are well on their way to daily excellence.
September's character trait is kindness! Ms. Fowler's students shared examples of how they show kindness to others (sharing toys; letting others go first; and shaking hands with one another, just to name a few!). #KindnessMatters #MohawkRising #RisingUp
Event Today!
Mohawk's students enjoyed their Disney/Superhero celebration on Friday! We enjoyed celebrating students who worked hard in summer school, turned in their summer packets, and joined us as brand new students this year. What a great start to our school year!
Ms. Whitaker ensures that every student of hers is greeted each morning by having them form a circle and saying "Good Morning" to one other person until everyone has been told "Good Morning." What a way to begin the day on a positive note!
The students in Ms. Cieslak's, Ms. Mitchell's, and Ms. Beard's class worked in small groups today to discuss ways in which they can show kindness to others.
Mrs. Goldfarb's second grade students engaged in an M&M activity that allowed them to ask/answer questions about their classmates and each other, based on the color of the M&M they pulled out of the bag. What a fun way to get to know one another!
Please join us for Mohawk's Open House on Tuesday, September 20th from 6:30-7:30 PM. You will have an opportunity to meet staff members, tour the school, and go into your child's classroom. We hope you are able to pop in!
Mohawk is having a Disney/Superhero-themed celebration on Friday for all of the hard work so many students continued to do over the summer months. Students are encouraged to wear their favorite Disney/Superhero gear as they watch a movie and enjoy a treat with their friends in the gym.
What a fun day at Mohawk! Students engaged with "Boomwhackers" in Music class, talked with partners about what they like about school, and participated in various activities throughout the classrooms.
Ms. Wilson's second grade students shared items from home that told others all about them, their interests, and their talents. Students were able to share in a creative and unique way.
We look forward to welcoming students to Mohawk for the 2022-2023 school year on Monday, August 22, 2022.
