6/4/2019 0 Comments Final Weeks of FourthWeek of June 3rd-
This week we will be presenting our animal projects to our first, second and third grade SI friends. The students have worked hard on researching an endangered animal and designing a zoo space suitable for this animal based on its needs for survival. Throughout the week we will have these three classes visiting while each group presents their projects with their best Spanish fluency and expression. This week we are also looking forward to Field Day on Wednesday afternoon and a visit from Manuel Collazo (the Education Advisor from the Embassy of Spain's Education Office) to hand out International Spanish Academies diplomas to all fourth grade SI students to celebrate their years of instruction at an ISA school. We will also be piloting the AAPPL Exam on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. This is a computer based assessment to measure the students' proficiency in the Spanish language. If you were able to attend or watch the recording of Amanda Seewald's presentation, she discusses this tool that many programs use as a benchmark for language acquisition. This year we are informally piloting this assessment tool to see if, when and how we might use it in the future. Fourth graders will only be taking a portion of the test as a trial. Read more about the assessment here. Week of June 10th- This last week of school should be a fun one with our parent led science centers on Monday, a water safety program on Tuesday, Send Off Day on Wednesday, Puff Mobile Day on Thursday, and our final half day on Friday to sign shirts and say goodbye. This is such a wonderful class and I will be sad to see them go, but proud as well for all the success they are certain to have in the future.
