The teachers at Sanger Middle School are
so excited about the C.0.W. program and
how it will benefit the students. Four 7"
grade teachers (two science and two social
studies) and four 8" grade teachers (two
seience and two social studies) will be
utilizing the program to enhance their
curriculum and “ignite” students’ learning
experiences!
‘The four social studies teachers will share
one of the C.0.W. machines and the four
science teachers will share the other one.
Each department head anticipates that this
program will bring about highly engaging
lessons for the students and, in turn, great
success for the learners at Sanger Middle
School.
Thank you
