Science

Bonnie Plant Farm sponsors a contest each year for Third graders.  They supply local schools cabbage plants, in late March, for each student to grow at home.  All our third graders took home cabbage plants.

Joe Wall photographed his cabbage plant that he named “BOB”.  Joe documented BOB’s growth for 11weeks, from March 27, 2016 – Harvest. Joe made chart entries on watering, weeding, fertilizing, and checking for bugs. BOB even spent a day at the Beach with the Wall Family.  Of course, after a long day at the Beach…the family was hungry.  BOB tasted great!

Joe Wall and Bob have entered a Nationwide Contest by the Bonnie Plant Cabbage Program.  Good Luck Joe (and BOB).

 

3rd Grade

Third graders showed off their creativity making Plant Diagrams.  Students identified parts and functions of a plant and presented their projects to the class.

Third grade students are working on graphic organizers using common and proper nouns. Students labeled and categorized pictures in the appropriate columns. Students were also creating a haiku deck using vocabulary words from their reading story.

Students in second grade played a game to learn about place value in ones, tens, and hundreds. Once mastered, they practiced place value with thousands and ten-thousands. Students wrote the problems on paper and everyone practiced saying the numbers they created.

Magazine Sales

Our annual Magazine sales drive kicked off on Friday, September 2. This is our one major fundraiser throughout the school year. Magazine sales were chosen because we feel this promotes reading and is something most people use. We encourage every family to participate as $15, 500 of the money raised goes toward our overall school budget and helps to offset tuition costs. The remaining portion toward individual grades/classrooms. However, participation is optional. Throughout the sale there will be three different turn in dates and prizes will be awarded to students reaching certain goals. This is a fun time for our students and we hope you will join us. If you have questions regarding the magazine sale, feel free to contact, Sally Allen (sallen@clarksvilleacadedmy.com) or Kari Turner (kturner@clarksvilleacademy.com) . The next turn in day will be Tuesday, September 13.

6TH Grade Science

Sixth Grade students learned about the phases of the moon in Science last week and created theses models as a culminating lab activity.

 

Music

The first two to three weeks in Artistic Performance is all about vocal techniques. Just like an athlete must exercise, follow strategic games plans, and understand the value of their techniques to be successful.  In choral, a vocalist must understand proper breathing, how to open wide inside and outside of their mouth, and where to position their tongue. Beautiful music just doesn’t happen, it takes practice. Our voice is an instrument that must always be fine-tuning. It is not uncommon for the students to leave my class saying they felt like they just had a work out!

 

FOOTBALL

Our first Intermediate School Football game is this Thursday, September 8 at 7:30PM at the Sports Complex. Come out and cheer on our team!

Drop-off/Pick-up

As we enter the second month of school, we want to remind you of a few procedures for drop-off and pick-up. As you may have noticed, all parking spaces have been numbered. Each driving student and faculty member are assigned a numbered space. We ask that no one park in numbered spaces at any time throughout the day. These are reserved for students/faculty and can cause those folks to be late if their space is taken. There are a few visitors spaces saved on the end of the front row and on the row near handicap parking. We do encourage parents to simply drop off in the mornings and not walk in with their students. Only PreK students have to be walked-in to their classrooms. All other students should now be entering the building on their own. During drop-off and pick-up we ask that parents not exit the car in order to keep the traffic flow moving. All students should be ready to exit the vehicle upon arrival at campus. If you have questions or concerns please contact your Head of School.

 

After School Enrichment

We are pleased to announce that our After School Enrichment program will begin next week!  We have two wonderful offerings—Cursive Writing with Mrs. Marla Clemments and Drawing with Pencils and Pastels with Mrs. Shelley Holt.  Registration is online at:
