St. PatrickÂ’s Day, March 17th, is the day that people everywhere wear green. Born in Great Britain during the time of the Roman Empire, St. Patrick was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Ireland where he worked as a shepherd. He fled to France but eventually returned to Ireland as a missionary. He is the patron saint of Ireland.

The Blarney Stone is a rock slab set in the wall of the Blarney Castle tower in the village of Blarney. According to legend, an old woman cast a spell on the stone to reward a king who had saved her from drowning. Kissing the stone gave the king the ability to speak sweetly and convincingly. Kissing the stone is not an easy task, because it is difficult to reach. Anyone who wants to try has to lie on his or her back, bend backwards and downwards, and hold on to iron bars for support. It is said that those who kiss the Blarney Stone are given the hjgu!pg!hbc, or Blarney: The skill to get anyone to do what he or she wants. This is persuasive talk!

Denton ISD Update District providing transition meetings for fifth-graders The transition from elementary school to middle school is one of the most important in a student’s education. From changes in academic schedules to a sudden growth in number of classmates in the same grade, everything is different for students leaving the comfortable surroundings they’ve known for the past six years and entering a new, “big” school! Denton Independent School District teachers and administrators have always been keen on making the switch from fifth to sixth grade a smooth one, offering a variety of initiatives for parents and students. Perhaps the most important is the annual fifth-grade transition meeting, tentatively scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 2, at all five of the district’s middle schools. The purpose is to help parents and their fifth graders learn more about middle school programs. The event features teachers, counselors and school administrators on hand to answer parent and student questions or concerns, while also showcasing clubs, organizations, fine arts opportunities and athletic options for students available on each campus. McMath Middle School added a new wrinkle for its incoming sixth graders this year – a question-andanswer session with eighth-grade students at its feeder campuses. The innovative approach allowed fifth-graders at Lee Elementary to share their concerns about that change with Students in McMath’s GOAL (Guys Operating As Leaders) and GLO (Girls Leading Others) programs recently visited Lee to talk about their experiences on adjusting to life in middle school and offered tips on making an easier transition. The eighth-grade boys and girls shared their own successes and failures in middle school, giving the Lee fifth graders a personal account of that transition. “It was interesting to hear their stories,” said Saul Campuzano, a fifth-grader at Lee. “It made me
Francisco Romero, an eighth-grade student at McMath Middle School, addresses a group of fifth-graders at Lee Elementary including (clockwise from left) Ben Alvarez, Christian Hernandez, Ark Soto and Abel Sanchez. Romero and several other McMath students in the GOAL program held a question-and-answer session with Lee fifthgraders discussing the transition to middle school. Photos courtesy of the Denton school district think about what I’m doing right now and if that’s helping me in the future. I know I don’t want to be getting in trouble at McMath. I want to be a leader just like them.” Approximately 100 fifth graders attended the session with the majority taking advantage to ask questions about what middle school is all about when each eighth-grader led an informal group discussion on making the
adjustments. Questions ranged from what it’s like to have a “bunch of teachers” instead of just one to what kind of “specials” or electives are the best to take and most fun. Seeing many of her current students actively engaged and excited about going to middle school was a treat for Dr. Laura Rodriguez, Lee’s principal. Getting a chance to visit with some of her former students and get a first-hand account of how
they’ve adjusted since leaving elementary school was an added bonus. “You can’t begin to describe how I feel about this,” Mrs. Rodriguez said. “A lot of our students don’t know what to expect or how to react at that next level, so I think this has helped open their eyes and see that kids just like them made the transition and are successful in the classroom and leaders in the
school.” McMath students held a similar session with fifth-graders at Borman Elementary and may expand the experience for its other feeder elementary campuses, Principal Dr. Debbie Nobles said. Until then, parents are encouraged to take advantage of the fifth-grade transition meeting and call their feeder middle school if they have questions.

Notas sobre su zona escolar Distrito escolar proporciona reuniones de transicion para el alumnos del quinto grado Es importante en la educación de un estudiante la transición de la escuela de enseñanza primaria a la secundaria. De cambios a horarios académicos a un crecimiento repentino en el número de compañeros de clase en el mismo grado, todo es diferente para los alumnos, especialmente aquellos que se han acostumbrado a sus alrededores durante los últimos seis años - y ahora a entrar a otro plantel grande. Los maestros y la administración del El Distrito Escolar Independiente de Denton siempre han ayudado a que sus alumnos tenga un cambio del quinto al sexto grado tranquilo, ofreciendo una variedad de iniciativas para los alumnos y sus padres. Quizás la iniciativa más importante es asistir a la quinta reunión anual de transición del quinto grado, la cual esta planificada tentativamente para el lunes, 2 de mayo a las 6:30 de la tarde en todos los planteles secundarios (middle) del distrito. El propósito de la junta es ayudar a padres y sus alumnos del quinto grado aprender más acerca de los programas en la secundaria. El acontecimiento cuenta con el apoyo de maestros, los consejeros y los administradores los cuales estaran disponibles para contestar las preguntas o las dudas de los padres. Durante la junta, tambien habra presentaciones de los clubes estudiantiles, las organizaciones, oportunidades de bellas artes y opciones atléticas de cada plantel académico. La secundaria McMath añadió un nuevo programa para los alumnos entrantes del sexto grado – una sesión de preguntas y respuestas con alumnos del octavo grado de los planteles de cercanos o feeders como se les conoce en inglés. El programa innovador ayudo mucho a los alumnos de la Primaria Lee los cuales compartieron sus preocupaciones acerca del cambio con los grupos llamado GOAL (Guys Operating As Leaders) de varones y GLO (Girls Leading Others) de jovencitas. Los alumnos de la secundaria hablaron sobre sus

experiencias, el cambio de rutina en la secundaria y también ofrecieron algunas sugerencias de cómo hacer la transición más fácil. Los alumnos y las alumnas del octavo grado compartieron sus propios logros y fracasos dentro de la secundaria contándoles sobre sus transiciones. “Fue interesante escuchar sus historias,” dijo Saul Campuzano, un alumno del quinto grado de la Primaria Lee, “Las historias me hicieron pensar sobre lo que estoy haciendo ahora y si eso me ayudara en un futuro. Se que no quiero
meterme en problemas en McMath. Quiero ser un líder como ellos.” Aproximadamente 100 alumnos del quinto grado asistieron a las sesiones la mayoría enfocándose en preguntas sobre lo que era la escuela secundaria (middle) durante una formación de grupo informal a cargo de un alumno del octavo grado. Las preguntas formuladas se trataban desde cómo se sentían al comunicarse con “muchos maestros” en vez de uno, cuáles eran las clases o electivos que deberían
tomar y cuales clases eran las más divertidas. Ver tantos alumnos tan interesados en el tema fue un regalo para la Dra. Laura Rodriguez, directora de la Primaria Lee. Tener la oportunidad de visitar a sus alumnos anteriores y escuchar sobre sus experiencias fue un buen obsequio. “No se puede describir lo que siento,” dijo la Sra. Rodriguez, “Muchos alumnos no saben que les espera en la secundaria o cómo reaccionar; creo que este foro les ayudo a abrir sus ojos y ver que otros niños como ellos pudieron hacer el cambio y
que ahora son exitosos dentro de sus clases y son líderes en sus planteles.” Los alumnos de McMath presentaron una sesión similar a los alumnos del quinto grado de la Primaria Borman y posiblemente expandirán la experiencia a otros planteles de primarias cercanas, dijo la Dra. Debbie Nobles, directora del plantel. Mientras tanto, se les invita a los padres a que aprovechen de las reuniones de transición del quinto grado y llamen a su secundaria más cercana si tienen preguntas.
