January 2019

December was a short but packed month at Plessy!

We had one of our best Specials Showcases yet, tons of great field trips, and week of ANET testing where students showed off their learning from the year!

1st & 2nd Grade Secondline

It was a whimsical day filled with holiday spirit and community support. We are grateful to French Quarter Festivals, Inc. for arranging the event for the 3rd year in a row, and the NOPD 8th District for hosting us!

January will be all about getting back to the learning and gearing up for a busy winter and spring ahead!

Arts Integration Spotlight!

Ms. Bush & Ms. Alexa - PRE-K - Tree Study

As we study trees, we will use literacy, math, the arts, and technology to explore the topic in depth. We will learn important social studies and scientific concepts through firsthand investigations.

Students used found tree parts to create a shape character with emotions!

Mr. Payne - 3rd Grade - ELA

Students created their own constellations for this arts project, with ancient Greece in mind. Students were tasked with creating a mythical creature or character. Students would be able to write a one page account of the origins of said creature/character which also explained a real phenomenon.
