IN OUR OWN WORDS - What is Project S.C.A.T.?
Please read the following entries and comment below. Please tell us which passage explains the project best, and we will post it on the front page of our wiki. Thank you!
WOW what a project


QUESTIONS FROM THE ROOM....
What computer skills do your kids come with?
Kids think that they have the skills....start out small and build...take it for granted and make assumptions...there are no computer classes

How many computers in the classroom?
7...+ mobile lab of 30...live in the classroom if someone else isn't

What is policy for replacement?
DNK but they have had same cart for 7-8 years kids are very careful with them

Project Lemonade
Went to the HS for beginning video conference...got the kids pumped up that they can make a difference...and kids chose Project Trinity as their cause as a result...admins thought at first could be opening a can of worms...but Supt saw it as a learning experience

Math Connections
I am AMAZED by not only the connections that these kids can make, but the clarity in which they are able to express the ideas creatively. You can tell these kids are LEARNING

re PSSA had the kids prep...instead of doing worksheets to review parts of speech, had them do a project.. To Principal, I haven't really done any PSSA prep From Principal, Jan you do it ALL the time the way it is supposed to be done & I know this because your kids' scores show it!

I REALLY encourage any reader to check out this class's stuff
