Academic Enrichment
Week of October 20, 2008

After some reshuffling, Academic Enrichment has now moved to the middle of the day, during the kids’ reading and work time! We are excited about this change because it reflects our goal of working with students in small groups to ensure that they are able to realize some true, day-to-day, added-value academically. Students have been placed in small groups of about 6-8, working on strengthening specific skills identified by their teachers, and through our work with them over the term. Please feel free to contact me, Tracy Dowdell, Education Coordinator, at tdowdell@atlantachartermiddleschool.com if there are other academic concerns you feel your child may have that might be best addressed in this setting. Thanks for your continued support!

This week, our Wednesday class will work on set design for their newscast. Each team will be given materials and tasked with designing a set that reflects their news team. They will also do some trial runs of their entire newscast as well, being captured on film, so that they can make changes and ensure a fluid, totally awesome, newscast next week!
