We have had a great start in Freshmen Civics (Seminar) with Spooner, Hastings, and Landaverde. Freshmen students have been watching acclaimed documentary “13th” and looking at the historical origins of modern-day mass incarceration. Students have been taking notes and engaging in discussion.
|
With Hastings and Spooner, students are even creating skits to explore the different ideologies that inform the American prison system. Although there was some nerves about performing in front of class, students have since warmed to their roles and are going all-out in the creation of props, backdrops, and their scripts. The process has been “surprisingly fun” according to Nathan M., which is high praise from a teenager. Students perform in class on Thursday!

Sophomores are in full swing in English class where they are exploring extremely short stories often called micro-stories. They are writing their own micro-narratives about a time they learned a life lesson, a story about themselves that always makes them laugh, or a time they received or gave advice.

Ms. Coffey’s students have been voraciously reading books of their choice at the start of class each day. Check out this photo of two students with their fake mustaches from the library for “checking out the library’s stash!”

In physics this week students got to work researching and developing their own lab investigations. Students delved into articles and videos to better understand how to approach their topic and in the upcoming week, with one another as participants, students will collect and analyze data pertaining to a topic of their own choice before we make the move into kinematics.

What is the IB Diploma Programme?

What is the IB Career Related Programme?

The IB Career Related Programme bridges our CTE programs and IB programs into one. Through this program, students are able to take 2 college level IB honors courses while completing their career program. At Clemente, a child can participate in the Culinary Arts, Medical Careers, or Broadcast Technology program and take challenging IB course work at the same time.

Students have the opportunity to earn college credit in 2 courses, as well as their career certification.
