Port Salerno Elementary would like to showcase one of its exceptional teachers: Mrs. Zarrella! She has been doing amazing, standards-based work within her life science unit in the classroom with her students. Below is her description of the activity:
Here are some pictures of us beginning our Growing Young Minds activity. We will continue to work on the project over the next month as students will neglect one plant and be kind to another. They are working on their understanding of what plants need, how they should treat others, and being positive and helping others can grow both them and the one they are helping. I would love to give a shout out to Mrs. Florio. She has been instrumental in helping me with both science projects my class is currently working on.
Our hypothesis is Plants: Plants will grow if we nurture them by giving them air, water, soil, and sunlight.
Learners: Our brain/spirit will grow and we will learn if we are nurtured with positive thoughts and guidance.
🍎INDIVIDUAL SCORE REPORTS FOR SPRING 2021 ASSESSMENTS🍎
The Martin County School District has received students' individual score reports for Spring 2021 statewide assessments from the Florida Department of Education. Schools have sorted the reports - students' individual records will be sent home with them no later than tomorrow, October 4.
If your child took any of the following assessments last spring, please be on the lookout for the appropriate personal score report(s) in their belongings:
🍎English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics or Science Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)
🍎Biology, U.S. History, Civics or Geometry End-of-Course Exam (EOC)
If your child took one or more FSAs or EOCs last school year and you have not received their individual score report(s) by tomorrow evening, please contact their school for assistance. As the score reports are distributed to school districts in hard copy format from the Florida Department of Education, they will not be available for viewing in the FOCUS Parent Portal.
A celebration for students who earned a perfect score on one or more of their statewide assessments is being planned for later in the fall.
