I’ll Be Attending the NAEA National Convention Next Week!

 

The NAEA National Convention is the largest professional development opportunity offered worldwide, exclusively developed art educators. Participating in exemplary professional development workshops and sessions with other pK-12 art educators, museum educators, researchers, scholars and university professors, teaching artists, and administrators offers a unique opportunity to collaborate and learn from other professionals in the field, as well as share our schools successes.  Within the 1,000 concurrent sessions offered at the 2012 NAEA National Convention, there are numerous sessions specically targeted to my professional development goals including strategies for enhancing student achievement, interdisciplinary learning, assessment, curriculum, and instruction.

 

I can’t wait to bring back all that I will learn  and share it with the students at SJV!

We need mechanics.

 

Students are learning the importance of mechanics in Language Arts.  They are working with commas, semi-colons, colons, hypehns, parentheses, and end marks.  Students will also be learning many other rules to help them with comprehension and with writing skills.

Social Studies Update

The fifth grade will be having a large test next Thursday in Social Studies. This test will cover everything in chapter 11 as well as all of the handouts from class. This chapter is about the development of our country and the Constitution, so as you can imagine there is a lot of information! It will be very helpful to have students study in advance for this test.

We Shouldn’t Be Having This Much Fun at School!
