  • 5th Grade Hosts Inquirer Editor

    Posted on January 10, 2012

    At the invitation of Denise Kelly, Inquirer night editor David Sullivan joined both 5th grades as a guest speaker on December 8th. Part of the 5th grade curriculum involves an on-going, in-depth study of grammar, usage, and conventions. Part of this study involves learning the proper capitalization of titles. One question the children had for our guest was why don’t all forms of media use the same rules of punctuation? That's where Mr. Sullivan's expertise was needed. He was able to answer that question, as well as many the other questions he was peppered with. Mr. Sullivan also spoke to the class about what it takes to produce a major daily urban newspaper. It’s a twelve-hour process. He provided all the children with official journalist notebooks and pens so they could begin their information-seeking careers. Any budding journalists in the room? Mr. Sullivan thought so. He was amazed at the knowledge the children possessed and the thought provoking questions they asked.

  • Making a Difference

    Posted on April 23, 2010

    Mrs. Pal concludes her blog post on the 8th grade Make A Difference Project with the following thoughts: "The make a difference project is in its second year of implementation. I had no idea how much this project would change my life and the lives of the students that I teach. I have learned that when combining passion and learning, there is no end to the possibilities for the students and the teachers. I am blessed that I teach at a school that creates opportunities for students to be successful and to learn that they, too, can make a difference in this world."
