NO MEDIOCRITY – TOWARDS EXCELLENCE!!
Make
Christmas 2012 special for a child
Nuestro Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is
an international organization that takes in abandoned and orphanged children,
providing a home and education. Here in
Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over 500 children in at large ranch
near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for severly handicapped children. While many children at the ranch have anuts,
uncles, or grandparents that come to visit them and can provide some Christmas
gifts, some children at a ranch have no family to visit. It is these children, whom we would like to
provide for this Christmas. On the
second floor of the secondary building, a NPH Giving Tree will be set up. Choose a paper tree that has a child’s information
about his/her size for shoes or socks.
Purchase the new item and return it to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by
Tuesday, December 4th, with the tree tag taped to it. As well, there are tree tags for basic food
items that will be donated to the orphange.
Cash donations will also be accepted to provide shoes and socks for
children whose trees were not selected.
Thank you for giving this Christmas!

MAP TOOLKIT
Do you want
to improve your MAP scores? For math, look at your RIT range by goal strand for Fall 2012
(Use the index card we made in class). Use these numbers to select appropriate
activities under each goal area. For example, if your RIT range for Geometry is
175-190, you would go to the click on the 171-180 and 181-190 links under
Geometry and Measurement in order for find activities at your level. Since
Geometry and Measurement are grouped together, you would be looking for
geometry skills, such as shapes. Here is the math website:
