Academy Clubs

National Academic League (NAL) will be starting up SOON! We are still awaiting information as to what a socially distanced game season will look like, but we can say that it will be fun! We're looking for students who are fast thinkers and good public speakers. Know anyone who fits that description? Be sure to listen to ABS announcements for try-out dates!

1st Quarter Highlights for…

Mr. Spencer’s 6th grade Social Studies students moved from hunting and gathering to full-on complex civilization in less than 9 weeks! While his 7th-grade students traveled around the world got filled with Enlightenment thought and witnessed a social and political revolution! Mrs. Hayward’s students have been working on Science Fair. They are working hard asking questions and defining problems to plan and carry out their investigations. Great investigations are taking place NOW! Ms. Muñoz and her students were super busy in Math! In Algebra I, they added to their knowledge by learning how to solve absolute value inequalities and equations. They were introduced to the power of the Desmos Graphing Calculator. In the meantime, students in MA08 learned about transformations on a coordinate plane and have begun a deeper dive into solving linear equations and inequalities. Wait! There was more, her MA07 students learned about rational number operations and are focusing on integer operations before we move onto equations.

Chinese and Spanish students at MAAS took some time to learn proficiency levels of language development and the characteristics for each level. The level I students worked on sharing their likes and dislikes while our 4th and 5th-grade students practiced introducing themselves, learning to communicate about the date, weather, and seasons. Our 5th-grade Spanish students are practicing their countries and capitals using catchy songs and games.
