EVENTS AND NOTICES
FAMILIES OF 4TH GRADERS
On Friday, February 22nd, 4th grade will take the NAEP assessment. The links below will take you to letters that explain the expectations for that measurement.
What is NAEP?
It is a Common Measure of Student Achievement The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only assessment that measures what U.S. students know and can do in various subjects across the nation, states, and in some urban districts. Also known as The Nation’s Report Card, NAEP has provided important information about how students are performing academically since 1969. |

Thank you to all the family members and guardians who came out in support of the many student presentations today. INCREDIBLES CULMINATING EVENT Team Incredibles, among many other learning communities, put together show-and-tell culminating event at the end of their current learning block. Students had come up with a ton of ideas about something to learn and made attempts to bring those ideas to life through research and practical experience. Some pictures of the culminating event were shared by the community. LINK TO 21 PICTURES One example of Incredibles student work is the project listed below. Four students (only three were available on culminating event day) wanted to evaluate where 7th and 8th-grade participants, engaging in physical activity in the gym, got the best workout. Was it in their Unified Arts elective P.E. classes, or in their regular twice-weekly P.E. classes? Volunteer students were monitored for activity intensity and duration with heart rate monitors and timers. They concluded that students got more effective (moderate and sustained) exercise during their regular gym classes. The project required them to understand physiology better, to learn how to collect and process data, and to come up with interpretations of the results. They plan to advocate for P.E. classes five times a week. This was an articulate crew of students when explaining their project.  RENAISSANCE E-CYBERMISSION PRESENTATIONS There was a good turnout of family members to see students present their creative ideas for solving problems. Students had to assemble slide shows of their projects and present their content in a formal and scientific way.    DISCOVERY CULMINATING EVENT 6th Graders gave formal slide show presentations of their projects. 5th graders showcased their projects on display boards and with various props. There was substantial family turnout to see what students had done. LINK TO 18 PICTURES   TEAM TRIUMPH CULMINATING EVENT This team videotaped their presentations and will be sharing that a little later. 100 DAYS INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR Ms. Williams from the Dreamers team shared pictures of her students celebrating 100 Day. For PreK and kindergarten students, their 100 day comes later than for the older students since they start the school year a week or so after the big kids. Regardless of when it occurs, it is a happy day. The normal school year for 1-8th graders must include at least 175 student attendance school days. LINK TO 8 PICTURES  TRAVELERS CAIRN ARENA ICE SKATING FIELD TRIP
Travelers went ice skating on February 8th. This is often a favorite field trip for students (and teachers) as they all enjoy skating on the ice with their peers. It was a really engaging growth mindset experience for students! Don't forget to check out the photos of Ms. Mailhotte driving the Zamboni! LINK TO 38 PICTURES
