Middle School Progress

The middle school did such a wonderful job with the ELA exams, we are truly proud of them! For the month of February the middle school students have decided to act as "mentors" towards the elementary school (bridging the gap)....They are writing weekly letters to the elementary school students focusing on Black History Month...Each middle school student has a new elementary pen pal in the school! This project is an integration of Language Arts & Social Studies It is constructive and cooperative learning. We will also be posting a bulletin board by Ms. Claudio's room of the letters, responses and pics of the pen pals!!!They absolutely LOVE IT! With these letters all students are learning proper letter writing techniques, as well as the history of some of the greatest African American role models to have ever lived. With fun and creativity we are spreading the love and knowledge of writing and teaching within our own school environmnet.

Middle School ELA

I am so excited that Upper Room Christian School's Middle School ELA (English Language Arts) program has been modified for the 2008-2009 school year to fully meet all of the student requirements necessary to excel on the New York State exams! All middle school students will meet with me weekly during class time to focus on their individual strengths and weaknesses. The students will also be involved in an intense reader's and writer's program to increase their written communication skills. This program will allow students to gain a thorough understanding through numerous engaging activities using all of the skills needed to succeed on the NYS ELA exam!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Rotziokos
