What our community looks like. 

The end of the school year has arrived and how fast this year has come and gone.  On the final day--yesterday--Principal Farson presented me with two awards: SCPA Teacher of the Year and a "Timmy" (similar to a Tony) for Tremendous Timekeeper, an award for maximizing learning time for students.  Needless to say, I'm humbled and honored for any accolades from teaching. I do this work because of the love and passion and respect I have for people, especially my students, who I will miss dearly for the next two-and-a-half months.  Thank you to the SCPA students, faculty and parents for allowing me to express my love for teaching and for allowing and supporting me to create caring and supportive families in the classroom. Have yourself a healthy and relaxing summer. I hope we meet again in August, the start of a new school year. 

Friday was the Spring Fling party at school.  SCPA Academic League team was involved with a game called petal pong.  There were cultural foods, performancs and dancing.

One Period, One Day On this day, students pre-selected partners and were using Google Drawing to construct and color a map of the Islamic Empire during the Middle Ages. The completed map would then be inserted into a Google Document on which individual students responded to essential questions.
