Phenomenal Fifth Week! Spotlight on: Open House


 
It was wonderful to get to meet with so many parents! Students were so excited to show off their work and their class room. Those of you were unable to attend (or parents who want access to the web links I shared) can view the presentation by clicking on the 9/23/13 link in the Weekly Wrap-Up list on the sidebar.

Our Constitution Day Video

Please check out the "Constitution Petting Zoo" link under "Our Videos" to see the fantastic profile Mr. Huerta put together about our celebration. He combined interviews, some art work from Ms. Mallona's class, and clips from student docents to make a wonderful overview of the event.
Partnerships between classes and collaborations with amazing teachers, like Mr. Huerta, provide our students with the best learning opportunities!
Thank you again, Mr. Huerta!

Fabulous Fourth Week! Spotlight on: Constitution Day!


We the People of Ms. Boyce’s 4th grade class were Panther Proud to take the lead in our campus celebration of Constitution Day. This day commemorates the creation of our government on September 17, 1787. Students learned about the brave individuals whose writings still form the foundation of the lives we lead today.

We set up a table in the upstairs common area with a reproduction of the constitution, quills, and School House Rock’s “Preamble” video for all the other classes to visit. Every single member of our Piney Point family was encouraged to visit and add their name to the list of 39 original signatures.  To see pictures of our patriotic event click on the 9/16/13 link under Weekly Wrap-Up on the side bar.
