Amazing field trip to today with so many cross-curricular experiences!

Lo pasamos súper bien!

Thanks to the money Fairview Middle School raised during the Pie-A-Teacher event, we were able to sponsor 3 dogs and 4 cats at the Anna Shelter. These animals' adoption fees are now paid for making them free to any approved loving home. Thank you so much to everyone who donated. Let's get these deserving furbabies a forever home!
Grab your "saco de dormir" and set up your "tienda de campaña"! Señor Lowe's Honor Spanish 3 have been going on their camping trip all week learning about narrating stories in the past tense. Each day, among set up tents and pine trees, the students analyze a Hispanic legend and folk song. Here, the students are learning about La Dama en Blanco from Argentina by ordering the story, learning about the El Pin Pon nursery song (which is a reference that can be found in the Spanish dubbing of Shrek), and fishing for vocabulary. The students will conclude the unit by writing their own scary stories in Spanish. Ten cuidado, Horacio Quiroga!
The Chess and Challenge 24 Exploratory has just finished up, and a special shout out to everyone who participated. Special congratulations to the grand winner, 6th grader Aaditya Girish.

Looking forward to seeing everyone next year and hopefully some new faces too!
