Hello,

Hopefully you have seen your student working hard on their creativity project for math class.  Last Tuesday students were charged with doing something creative to show off any topic we have covered in class this year.  Here are their options:

I am so excited to see what your student shares this week in class.  These projects are due Wednesday.  The rubric is on the back of the page shown above.  You can ask your student to check it out.

Please don’t hesitate to ask should you have any questions about the assignment.

 

Because our York Academy students met their reading goal Dr. Lowe is spending the night on the ROOF OF THE SCHOOL!  Today the fire truck came and hoisted him right up there.  For all of the skeptics out there, he REALLY IS SLEEPING on the roof!!  Here are some photos of today’s excitement!

The date for collecting textbooks will now be on THURSDAY, JUNE 2ND.  This is so students will be able to use them for an end of the year wrap up activity.  Thank you very much.

We are tackling the last of our MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessments for the year! This week students will participate in the assessments for reading and for math. We are so excited to see the growth the students will show!

We had an AMAZING time at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, GA! We got “slide certified”, but even better are coming back with some fantastic and creative ideas to share with York Academy! We will see you bright and early on Monday morning!

Some of you guessed it, we’re in Atlanta, GA. But, what in the world are we doing here? Keep guessing…

Students will need to bring in their US history textbooks on Tuesday, May 31st.  I will be collecting them and using them in the classroom as needed for the rest of the year.  Please make sure that the textbook is in school that day, all papers are out of the book, and all covers are removed.  Thank you!

Greetings, students! Here is your first set of picture clues. Where are we?

Mrs. Alvarnaz and Ms. Chevalier are leaving for a VERY exciting trip this afternoon! We will be out of the classroom from Wednesday afternoon through Friday this week. We will be posting pictures and/or videos on this blog daily once we leave so students can guess where we might be! If you want to make a guess, just post a comment under our posts that have a clue. Our first clue will be posted tonight! We’ll let you know if you’re right or not, and we’ll see you Monday :-).

Hola,

As we continue to get introduced to more cultural aspects from Guatemala and shopping scenarios, using statements with the verb to go “ir” in present tense and demonstrative adjectives were the focal grammar themes during this week in the Spanish class. Attached a couple of videos where these themes can be reviewed. —>

Buen fin de semana.
