Fall Intersession 2010

We've made it to Fall Intercession! Students have been working hard and doing a great job arriving on time and in uniform. We are proud of you!

You will have a two week break to rest, relax, have fun, and complete your enrichment packets. What are your plans for Intersession?

Welcome Back!

Students, Staff, Parents, and Community:

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year at May Community Academy! We are very proud to announce that we exceeded the 50% mark on our 2010 ISAT composite score! Thank you to all the students, staff members, and parents that made that happen.

This year we set our sites on 60%.

What do you think May needs to do (or continue to do) to ensure another successful school year? Please share your thoughts....

Let's add to the festivities! Please share your thoughts on any of the following:

*do you have a favorite book?
*why is reading important?
*do you like to read plays?
*where is your favorite place to read?
*do you like to read to others or read by yourself?
*any additional comments you would like to make about literacy?

Your Views on Technology

This May Mrs. Zumpano will accompany 1st grade students to Springfield to participate in our second year of Tech 2010. On this day students from around Illinois will set up technology project displays in the State Capitol Building to show our government how technology is benefiting our students.

Mrs. Zumpano will create a brochure about technology featured at May. Within this brochure she will feature quotes from students and adults. Please respond to the following prompt- your quote may be included!

How do you feel about using technology in school? Do you think it helps you? Would school be any different if technology wasn't available? Have the school website, school blog, lesson plan blogs, teacher blogs, student blogs, computer lab, laptop cart, or any other technology made a difference for you?

Please remember to include your first name and last initial only when responding!
