STEM & IE scholars in grades 3-6 spent a fun day at Kidzania today! Scholars were able to role-play different professions and earn & spend Kidzo currency! Such a great way to kickoff our Field Studies! #MAWAY

Good afternoon, team! What a fast week last week was! Between STAAR Interim exams and our Cultures Around the World event, I feel like I blinked and the week was over! I appreciate each day the enthusiasm and drive you each bring! Read some of the amazing comments about you all within the newsletter with feedback from stakeholders and families from our Cultures event! This week will be no less busy! We have the Arabic exam for 7th & 8th graders, STAAR Interim for 5th & 8th graders, and field studies for grades 3 - 8! Please look again within the newsletter for some meeting times with me for certain grade levels/teachers so we can go over specifics for this week. Monday begins our "Countdown to Winter Break"! See the link in the newsletter about what we are doing each day to celebrate you! I look forward to seeing each of your tomorrow with a little "treat" to celebrate our Red & White day (10 days until break)! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Let me know if you need anything! See you all tomorrow! #MAWAY Aimee Vinten https://sites.google.com/view/stem-connect-staff/newsletter/december-5-2022 https://sites.google.com/manaraacademy.org/stemconnect-families/newsletter/december-5-2022

Manara Academy is using VGo robots for the students who can’t physically go to school due to an illness, accident or medical condition. VGo enables students to: *Receive the same instruction as their peers *Move around/between classrooms independently *Socialize with friends in the hallways and at lunch *Participate in a full school day with their classmates. Manara Academy also uses VGo Robots to enhance teaching between campuses for our Emergent Bilingual and students with Dyslexia.
