1ST GRADE DONUTS WITH DADS

kenansener News
On Friday, April 1st, FSA’s first grade classes hosted Donuts with Dad. Students in Mrs. Whitlock and Ms. Selstad’s class invited their dads to a morning of yummy breakfast, quality time, and some fun gifts. Students worked very hard and created donuts with a dozen adjectives to describe their dad, a story where their dad was a superhero, and a picture telling dads why they loved them! It was a very special time for all of us. We are so thankful for our dads!

2ND GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES

kenansener News
WOW! I am SO impressed with my students and the hard work they have done on their Cultures Around the World projects. I can tell that students really took ownership of their learning and worked hard to create something they could use to teach their classmates all about their assigned country. It also seems like everyone really enjoyed creating this project! I am so glad.

I was very pleased with the few presentations we had this morning. I love that I can tell our students have practiced what they will say to the classmates 🙂 We will do a few each day until we have presented all projects. I can’t wait to see all of the presentations!

Enjoy a few photos from our presenters today!

Fifth grade students chose historical figures to study, dress as and perform as. Each student relayed facts about their character, but only once their “on button” had been pressed!

The younger elementary grade teachers and students were very impressed with how much work had gone into this social studies project.

Congratulations on a job well done 5th Grade!

ALLIANCE THEATRE FIELD TRIP WAS LOTS OF FUN!

kenansener Field-Trips, News, STEAM
FSAPS Elementary students visited the Alliance Theatre this past Thursday, February 25th. They were transported through theatre to the magical land of Narnia while watching the play The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe! This play is based on the books The Chronicles of Narnia and tells a story of 4 siblings that travel through their wardrobe into a new land. Students loved watching the actors in this land of Narnia as they encountered new creatures, and faced many adventures. In the land of Narnia, we watched as The White Witch attempted to take control of the entire land. The strong and magical lion, Aslan, helped the siblings defeat the white witch and rule the land of Narnia where all the creatures were happy! The stage props, lighting, and being able to sit in the balcony of the theatre made this experience extra special for our elementary students! After the show, we enjoyed a quick snack and juice before heading back to school. The students loved talking about their favorite parts of the play on their way back to school. It was a great day for our elementary students!

MS. LARSON CHOSEN AS STAR TEACHER

kenansener Achievements, News, STEAM
Congratulations to 7th grade Life Science Teacher Gabrielle Larson for being selected as STAR Teacher by former FSA student Siri Choragudi. Siri, a senior at Chattahoochee High School, graduated from FSA Charter Middle School in 2012. She earned the distinction of STAR Student by having the highest SAT score on a single test among her Chattahoochee classmates. Each STAR Student may select a STAR Teacher for having made the “most significant contribution to the STAR Student’s scholastic development.” Siri was in Ms. Larson’s 9th Grade Honors Biology class at Chattahoochee before Ms. Larson retired from Fulton County Schools and began teaching part-time at FSA. It was former FSA students like Siri that sparked her interest in teaching at FSA.
