What an exciting afternoon we had with Creature Features! The students at McMinn P.R.E.P. (MPP) at Mountain View enjoyed learning about exotic animals and being able to interact with them. We have been researching animals over the past few weeks, and this was a great ending to our unit. Thank you Creature Features for coming and creating a lasting memory with our students!

Over Spring Break, the CHS Spanish Department was reunited in Nashville to present their workshop entitled Save Your Sanity: No/Low Prep Games & Brain Breaks for the World Language Classroom at the Southern Conference on Language Teaching (SCOLT). The 3-hour workshop was so popular at the Tennessee World Language Teacher Association (TWLTA) Conference in November 2023 that Laura Medina, Tiffany Hernandez, & Barbara Quintard were asked by TWLTA to present it at SCOLT 2025. Through kinesthetic and hands on methods, workshop attendees participated in games and brain breaks that require little to no preparation to use in their classrooms. Related to her current position as the ESL Consulting Teacher in the district, Barbara Quintard also presented a 1-hour session entitled Everyone's an ESL Teacher: Demystifying SLA Methods for the Mainstream Classroom. This session focused on synthesizing research about what classroom teachers need to know about Second Language Acquisition (SLA) in order to best support their multilingual learners.

Thursday, March 6th was a busy afternoon for our McMinn P.R.E.P. afterschool program at MVS! We enjoyed being out on a beautiful afternoon drawing pictures on the sidewalks for everyone to see. After homework we took the information we had previously learned about maps and created edible maps. Before we went home, our parents joined us to guess what teachers were reading books behind masks. What a fun afternoon we had!
