FROM THE DESK OF THE PRINCIPAL:
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Reading with Honors 8 French
Mrs. Baird's students recently read the book, Pat le chat: J'adore aller à l'école. Students gained a deeper understanding of the book and practiced all core modes of the language, students worked in pairs to complete a variety of interdisciplinary stations. The stations included an art, literature, science, math, current events, and French culture. Even though the stations were challenging, the students agreed that they enjoyed them because they forced them to think, taught time management, met all interest levels, and gave them a sense of choice.
Financial Literacy
Ms. Marcus' and Mr. Puma's students learned about financial literacy this week by discussing bank accounts, balancing a checkbook using Google Sheets, going over parts of a check, and ways to ensure things are done correctly when it comes to keeping track of their finances. Students also practiced creating their personal signature!
Science - Learning about Watersheds
This week Mrs. Fessman's students in Silver Pod Science learned about watersheds including how to protect them, and what threatens them. This lab activity required the students to investigate a sample of water that had been "contaminated", and to try to identify the source. They did great!
Fantasy Football Project
Mrs. Mosetti's Gold Pod students worked on a Fantasy Football Project throughout Chapter 1. They picked their own Fantasy Team (on Google Sheets), and every week they solved equations that matched their players points in real-life Fantasy Football! Students had a blast participating and competing against each other.
