Denton PARP Celebrates Poem In Your Pocket
Poem In Your Pocket Day
Every April, on Poem in Your Pocket Day, people celebrate by selecting a poem, carrying it with them, and sharing it with others throughout the day. Poem in Your Pocket Day is a time to celebrate POETRY. During Library instruction at Denton students reviewed and learned about poems.
Poetry is best when shared, and Poem in Your Pocket Day is the perfect time to surprise someone with the gift of poetry. We celebrated on April 21, 2016 and shared poems throughout the day. We had high school students join us in the afternoon performing “Poetry Out Loud”. What a wonderful Day!
Denton Avenue’s Math Olympiads Team Celebrates:
This math club is directed by, Ms. Martina Bozac. It is a way to stimulate an enthusiasm and a love for Mathematics. Each week a new concept is introduced and practiced. The essential goal of Math Olympiads is for students to challenge their mathematical skills.
During the weekly club sessions, Ms. Bozac engages and challenges students with problem solving activities. These math activities are designed to strengthen student’s ability to reason and use logic. Participants also researched influential mathematicians whose contributions in math have made our understanding and learning of math easier and necessary.
