Dear Families,

I wanted to personally thank our school community for

your support during this difficult time. Your

thoughtfulness, kindness and care encouraged us, as we

took care of our students and teachers. The AACPS

Trauma Team and the AAC Mobile Crisis Unit were

amazing, we appreciate your expertise and unwavering

support!

On Tuesday, November 26 we look forward to the

Annual Teacher Vs. Students Volleyball Game. We will

operate on a two-hour early dismissal schedule which

will provide us with the time needed to host this PBIS

event.

Classroom Highlights

8th graders used AVID strategies in Mrs. Conopask's Art Class while reading about Andy Warhol

and Pop Art. Students first looked at the graphics in the article did a quick I See, I Think, I Wonder

artful thinking strategy to make predictions about the text.

Next, students looked at the questions on the handout to see what they should be looking for in

their reading.

Students were then put into jigsaw groups to become experts on their part of the reading, before

reporting back to their home tables. Some chose to mark up the text.

Special thanks to Mrs. Burkard, Mrs. Parsons and Mrs. Glennon
