Be a Map Maker!

Due: September 20th

Our geography project for this quarter is going to be great fun! The students will be making a map of their route to school. To develop student’s visual skills, take a walk or drive through your neighborhood with your child, encouraging them to take notes of important streets and landmarks. They also should take notes on their way to and from school. Student’s maps should represent proportions and distances as closely as possible.

Included in their map should be the following elements:

1. Their house

2. School

3. At least five other important landmarks, marked with invented symbols (such as restaurants, parks, churches, banks, friends’ homes, etc.)

4. Map key to explain symbols

5. Map scale

6. Compass rose with all directions listed

7. Map coordinates (these can either be latitude and longitude lines or number and letter coordinates)

The map should be presented on an 11” by 17” poster board or construction paper. It should be detailed and neat with lots of color! There should not be any errors in spelling. Have fun!

The ACS music department announces…

…Music Informances 2010…

For Kindergarten through 5^th grade.

Music programs for the 2010 school year take on a new face at Academy Charter School. Take the “per” out of performance, replace it with “in,” and you get informance, a music program that provides a rich experience for students and parents.

Informances 2010, which will take the place of the winter and spring music programs this year, will not only give parents a better understanding of their children’s musical abilities, but also a greater appreciation of how their children achieved those abilities. End-product and learning-approach meet in this interactive environment, sure to enrich all involved.

Please note in your calendar the date below that applies to your child’s informance. Then complete the confirmation below, and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher by Friday, September 10th.

Come enjoy, and get informed!

Sincerely,

Nathaniel Ross

ACS general music
