fun with Subtraction in Kindergarten!

1/30/2020

Mrs. Kendall's kindergarten class was all about the subtraction skill the other day! They were singing about those monkeys jumping on the bed, then drawing the monkeys, and crossing them off as they fell off that bed! The students also wrote subtraction sentences to show their work and then read them aloud. Way to go, Kindergarten!

​We are so glad so many of you were able to join us for the Mommy and Me field trip to the Manship Theatre! Before the show, students and their families got to picnic, explore downtown, and check out the Mississippi River. Then, BRCVPA packed the house for Walk On: The Story of Rosa Parks. It was a great show, rich with music and history.  We appreciate the opportunity to share this experience with our "Mommies!"

Google Certification is a highly prestigious certification for classroom teachers. Teachers never stop learning, so this certification process gives us the opportunity to strengthen our knowledge and better develop our Google skills. There are two basic levels: 
  • Level 1 focuses on Google Tools at a foundational level but also gives educators insight into Digital Citizenship and Copyright. 
  •  Level 2 digs in deep to advanced uses of Google Tools while helping educators create solid blended learning lessons.
These teachers have gone through intense Google training and have taken an online, timed, performance based test as part of the certification process. Going through this process allows our teachers to better support learning and growing in the classroom. Congratulations to these hardworking teachers!

This month's Manners of the Heart reward is a Hip Hop Clinic! Brian Lamont will be visiting our school to teach us all about Hip Hop! You can read about Brian's career below. 
Picture
Brian Lamont is a professional choreographer and teacher with many accolades. He graduated from Lee High School in 2009 and was voted best dancer. He then attended Louisiana State University where he became a member of the LSU Legacy dance team. 
After LSU, in 2012, Brian started professionally teaching dance. In 2013, Brian was cast with Debbie Allen Productions in hip hop, swing, and miming. That same year, he was featured on A&E network tv series Breakout Kings season 2 and was a backup dancer for singer Kourtney Heart in New Orleans. In 2014, he performed for the Louisiana Film and Magazine Awards. He also became the artistic director for r&b and pop artist Justin Garner, which gave Brian the opportunity to choreograph and dance in the Cumulus Media Awards

In 2015, he assisted at Showstoppers Dance Convention. A few months later, he was cast to sing and dance on the Universal Studios motion picture Pitch Perfect 2, and he exclusively worked with producer and director Elizabeth Banks.


From 2016 to 2018, Brian choreographed and performed for MTV, LSU dance programs, the Tiger Girls, and the LSU Symphony Orchestra and band. He’s worked with master artists such as Terry Beeman and Aakomon Jones. In 2018, Brian was the judge and guest teacher at his first dance convention in Hattiesburg, Mississippi with Dance Teachers United. This year, Brian helped to cast talent for Lil Wayne.

Recently, Brian has focused his time on his students, competitive teams, and community. His choreography has won special awards at competitions and conventions such as DanceMakers, Hollywoodvibe, LA Dance Magic, Legacy Dance, Masquerade, Showbiz, V.I.P and The Streetz Dance Convention. Brian Lamont also leads a non profit dance company, called Watson Co., that gives back to charities through dance. He now teaches full time at Tari’s School of Dance, Machita’s Dance Company and Tokyotheacademy.

Manners of the Heart Reward will be held on Friday, January 31. We look forward to celebrating excellent behavior with our students!
