Enriched and Accelerated Courses in

Selected Middle Schools

Please see the attached document for more

information about enriched and accelerated courses

that are available in Takoma and Eastern Middle

Schools.

ELA/SS StandardsWe are working on various standards through

our read-aloud, The City of Ember. We are reading

both the graphic and regular novels. We will also be

working on an escape room, vocabulary, and various

standards utilizing multiple texts.

Students can log into their RazKids accounts

at home to access texts that are at their reading level!

Students can also log into ReadTheory and Quill to

complete reading comprehension and language

activities!

STEM June continues to be busy as fifth grade works to

wrap our studies of constellations and our Coding

using the CS First/Scratch programs. STEM

students will move on to research a science topic of

interest and will plan a mini lesson to present to

younger students K-3. This project will be rooted in

the Reading Informational standard RI 5.2 as we use

multiple Science magazines to find the article and

topic that sparks interest.

Math StandardsIn fifth grade math, Students will be

having some fun reviewing, and using all the

skills they’ve learned for the year! They will be

using these skills to complete a math project

which will be due by the end of the year

⅚ Math with Mrs. JonesDevelop understanding of statistical variability.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.A.1

Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the

data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.A.2

Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question

has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and

overall shape.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.A.3

Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes

all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation

describes how its values vary with a single number.

Summarize and describe distributions.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.4

Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots,

histograms, and box plots.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5

Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.A

Reporting the number of observations.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.B

Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how

it was measured and its units of measurement.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.C

Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and

variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well

as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the

overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were

gathered.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.SP.B.5.D

Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of

the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.

Coundelor’s Corner

Hello Glen Haven Parents and Guardians,

Throughout the school year we have discussed the importance of good character daily through our

“Huddles”. Your child has learned about respect, responsibility, citizenship, fairness, compassion,

perseverance, honesty, self-discipline, and courage, just to name a few.

Building character and teaching ethics is not an academic undertaking, it must be relevant to your child’s

lives and experiences. Please continue to talk about character and good choices in situations that your

child has been in.

It is a fact that raising good children- children with good character- demands time and attention. Below

are a few summer ideas to help your child continue to develop wonderful character traits.

1. Respect- Take a walk and talk about respecting the outdoors (no littering, etc.).

2. Responsibility- Do yard work together.

3. Citizenship- Clean up a park.

4. Fairness- Share an ice cream.

5. Compassion- Help at a Soup Kitchen.

6. Perseverance- Sign up for a summer reading program and have your child read every day.

7. Honesty- Read a book about honesty outdoors.

8. Self-Discipline- Finish any household chores before playing outside.

9. Courage- If your child is afraid of bugs, take a walk and explore all the different types of bugs found

outside.

Thank you again for a great year. Please enjoy a safe, fun summer with your child- one filled with

exceptional character.

Rebecca Willis

Enriched and Accelerated Courses in Selected Middle Schools As part of the middle school magnet field test, every fifth grader in the Takoma Park and Eastern middle schools magnet programs catchment area was centrally reviewed for potential to access enriched and accelerated instruction. The following middle schools are part of the catchment: Benjamin Banneker, Briggs Chaney, William H. Farquhar, Robert Frost, Herbert Hoover, Cabin John, Francis Scott Key, Col. E. Brooke Lee, Newport Mill, Rosa Parks, North Bethesda, Thomas W. Pyle, Silver Creek, Silver Spring International, Sligo, Tilden, Julius West, Westland, Earle B. Wood, White Oak, and the Middle School Magnet Consortium (MSMC) schools: Arygle, A. Mario Loeiderman, and Parkland. Based on the results of the central review process, significantly more students surfaced demonstrating the potential to thrive with enriched and accelerated instruction. While some students were invited to attend the magnet, based on the data, many more demonstrated an instructional need for enriched and accelerated instruction. In order to address the increased need, new enriched and accelerated courses modeled after the instructional approaches and curriculum implemented in the Humanities and Communications and Math, Science, and Computer Science magnet programs are being implemented at local middle schools. Course offerings will begin with the 2018–2019 school year and include mathematics and humanities. Decisions regarding the number of courses offered at each school will be monitored and finalized based on student enrollment and performance data. All middle schools in the catchment area will implement one or both courses with the exception of the three MSMC schools. MSMC schools are whole-school magnets with enrichment and acceleration opportunities embedded in the programs. School staff in the field test catchment area will receive professional learning, consultation on master scheduling, and central services support. Below you will find course descriptions: Applied Investigations into Mathematics (IM) 6 This course is designed to extend students’ understanding of mathematical concepts aligned with the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards, accelerating the pace of instruction while diving deeper into concepts at an equal level of intensity. This is much more than an accelerated mathematics course as the program offers access to many academic competitions and the opportunity to conduct fieldwork. Students work with an academic cohort to conduct independent inquiries using mathematics, computer science, and the scientific process to solve real-world problems. Historical Inquiry into Global Humanities 6 This course is built around the core Grade 6 social studies curriculum that includes historical content from early civilizations, the empires of Greece and Rome, the dynasties of China, and civilizations of the first millennium. Cohort students will go beyond this core however as they learn additional content, explore deeper connections to today, engage in investigative inquiry to strengthen their writing through Document Based Questions, and

enhance their learning through relevant literature connections. Grade 5 students whose parents had opted them out of testing for the middle school magnet programs also are being considered for the enriched and accelerated courses. Middle school principals are reviewing their incoming Grade 6 student data and notification of individual student placements will be sent to parents in early April. For questions about programming, parents may contact Accelerated and Enriched Instruction, 240.740.3110. After individual placement notifications occur in April, questions about course(s) availability, sections, and scheduling may be directed to your middle school principal.
