DA STEM announcement

Dear DA STEM students & parents,
I met with the director of GT services and both high school principals today. DA STEM students are welcome to work at Jefferson or Kennedy next week periods 1 and 2.  Jefferson students can work independently in the cafeteria with Roger and Kennedy students in C101 (my classroom) with me.  STEM students who are also in DA Humanities who are dropped off early at KHS can also work in my room.  Please don't report to the media centers because these spaces might already be full next week.  Thank you and I'll keep you in the loop with further updates.  

Take care and have a nice weekend,

Meredith

May 18, 2020 Dear DA STEM 9th and 10th graders and their parents/guardians, Congratulations on completing spring semester at Normandale in the Dimensions Academy STEM program.  You excelled in your college coursework - during a pandemic and when all instruction was moved online!  Roger and I were very impressed with how hard you worked under these new learning conditions. Additionally, we were thrilled to see how well the Normandale professors adjusted their teaching to online.  We were happy with the level of rigor they were able to maintain.   Grades:   I am pleased to announce that everyone in both cohorts earned As and Bs in their college classes this semester.  Normandale is offering their students the opportunity to take their classes pass/fail but my recommendation for you is to take your grade.  There are 2 benefits to taking your grade:  1.  It is doubtful that 4 years from now colleges will give you credit for ...

Seeing our kids learning!

I had the opportunity to see DA STEM 10th graders use tilt ,  seismic , and gas data from volcanos today.  It was great to see our students thinking as real geologists!   Later on I got to observe our new DA Honors 9 English class where they worked at stations to analyze short stories for illusion, personification, symbolism, irony, conflict, imagery, and characterization.  They did a great job applying these concepts in their small group discussions and digging into the texts! I look forward to more opportunities to see our students learning.
