It’s that time of year again and Spring 2019 Adult Spanish Classes are now available. Both an introductory class and an advanced class will be available starting in February. This course is for adults. Those who have taken these courses previously have included parents of Dual Language students, a teachers and principals, and members of the community.
Students in both Spanish I and Spanish II should expect homework. Spanish I students will learn fundamental vocabulary & concepts in Spanish. Everything will be applied in conversation. Students will have fun and become conversant at a basic level.
Spanish II course is a continuation of the Spanish I class taught in the Fall. If a student believes they have enough Spanish under their belt to take on Spanish II, they should contact the instructor ahead of time to confirm. Spanish II focuses on conversation using material covered in Spanish I. Students will also study the 2 past tenses in Spanish.
The Spanish I class will meet on Thursdays, Feb. 21 – May 2, with no class during Spring Break. The Spanish II class will be held on Wednesdays, Feb. 20 – May. 1, with no class during Spring Break. Both classes meet 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the ESDC Building B at 1820 Pearl Street, Carrollton, TX 75006.

From December 1 – 12, 2018, students at McCoy Elementary participated in a Penny War fundraiser. The different grade levels competed to see who could raise the most money by collecting silver coins. Pennies, however, had a negative value. Here, we see a Kindergartner dropping pennies into a First Grade piggy bank! In the end, Fourth Grade raised more money than any other grade level, winning the Penny War. Fourth Graders enjoyed a cookie party on Friday December 12, 2018. Ultimately, everyone was a winner because the total amount of money raised for the McCoy PTA was $1,905.39!
Every year, 4th Graders at McCoy learn to swim at the CFB Natatorium. This year, the 4th Graders went every day during the week of December 10 – 14, 2018.
On December 12, 2018, Kindergartners at McCoy Elementary observed Hour of Code by doing an unplugged activity from Code.org in the library. This activity is called “Move It, Move It.” In this activity, students are exposed to the concepts of a program, a programmer, and a programming language.
The students in Ms. Callahan’s class took turns being the programmer and the walking machine. In order for the “walking machine” to reach the square with the happy face, two things have to happen. The programmer must communicate the program correctly to the machine and the machine must follow the program correctly. The programming language consisted of arm signals.
This year, Ms. Eaton, the librarian has planned a mixture of unplugged and online activities for Kindergarten and First Grade to experience Hour of Code.
Students enrolled in the After the Bell program at McCoy Elementary School stay busy with a variety of activities. Students rotate between the cafeteria, the gym, and the computer lab. One of the most important activities at ATB is getting homework done!
Fifth Grade students at McCoy Elementary handcrafted looms from clay during the week of December 10 – 14, 2018. The students made the looms in Ms. Wheatley’s Art class. These looms have an important future as the Fifth Graders will be weaving on these very same looms during the spring semester.
